Abhishek Gupta, was caught impersonating another candidate, Rahul Gurjar, at the Master Adityendra School examination center which falls under the Mathura Gate police station area. The unfolding of this fraudulent act led to the detention of Gupta along with five other individuals allegedly involved in the cheating racket.

The involvement of Meena and Gurjar, along with three other accomplices – Amit, Dayaram, and Suraj Singh – highlights the complexity of the cheating scheme, which relied on impersonation to gain an unfair advantage in the highly competitive NEET-UG examination.

Meanwhile, in a separate incident reported from Sawai Madhopur, candidates appearing for the NEET-UG exam raised concerns over the incorrect distribution of question papers, with candidates receiving papers in a language other than their chosen medium. Aggrieved candidates and their parents alleged mistreatment by the authorities, leading to uproar and protests at the examination center.

In response to the incident the National Testing Agency (NTA) issued a public notice acknowledging the “incorrect distribution” of question papers and assured remedial measures to uphold fairness and equal opportunity for all candidates. Sadhna Parashar, Senior Director at NTA, affirmed the agency’s commitment to conducting a re-examination for approximately 120 affected candidates, ensuring that their academic aspirations remain unaffected by the unfortunate incident.
