💜Maharashtra Police has detained two teachers in connection with the alleged irregularities in the NEET-PG medical entrance exam. Reports said the state police’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) detained the duo on late Saturday night from the Latur district.
♍The two detained teachers have been identified as Sanjay Tukaram Jadhav and Jalil Umarkhan Pathan. Both are said to be teaching at a government-run school in Latur, reported India Today.
🥂Earlier, the Centre removed National Testing Agency (NTA) Director General Subodh Singh, while handing over the probe into alleged discrepancies in medical entrance exam NEET-UG to the CBI.
Besides, Union Education Ministry also set up a seven-member panel headed by former ISRO 🍷chief K Radhakrishnan to review the NTA’s functioning and recommend exam reforms.
༺Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said, “We stand for transparent, tamper-free and zero error examination. A panel has been formed on exam reforms, strict action has been taken against officials and the case has been handed over to CBI."
💫"Students' interest will be safeguarded at any cost,” he added.
🤡The NEET-UG exam has seen students protest over allegations of a question paper leak and grace marks awarded to over 1,500 students. The grace marks were later scrapped and the affected students were offered a re-test.
