'Found no evidence': CBI gives clean chit to kingpin Sanjeev Mukhiya in NEET-UG 2024 paper leak case
CBI gave a clean chit to Sanjeev Mukhiya in the NEET-UG 2024 paper leak case, finding no evidence linking him to the theft or distribution of the question paper.
Bihar Police had named Mukhiya as an accused in the FIR, but CBI's investigation did not establish his involvement; he was not named in any chargesheet.
CBI filed multiple chargesheets against 45 accused before a Patna court, but Mukhiya was excluded due to lack of evidence.
Mukhiya secured bail in the NEET-UG 2024 case but remains in judicial custody for other cases investigated by Bihar Police.
