NEET Controversy: An affidavit filed by the Deputy Superintendent of Police in the Sessions Court of Godhra has brought to light a massive scam involving the NEET UG 2024 examination. According to the affidavit, students from several states, including Maharashtra, Odisha, and Bihar, traveled to Godhra to take the NEET UG 2024 exam, having already made special arrangements. The affidavit also reveals that these students paid money and provided blank cheques in advance. This information was shared by Shaktisinh Gohil, Former Leader of Opposition and Former Minister of Gujarat.

"Money and blank cheques were taken from those students in advance. They were also told to write the name of 'Jai Jalaram School' Gujarati Medium for the centre while filling the NEET application. The setting was that when the students get admission, money will be filled in blank cheque," the official handle of Congress stated in a post on X.

The setting was designed in such a way that, upon the student's admission, the money would be filled in the blank cheques. Students were instructed to name 'Jai Jalaram School' Gujarati Medium as their examination centre while filling out the NEET UG 2024 application forms.

इसमें बताया गया है कि महाराष्ट्र, ओडिशा और बिहार समेत कई राज्यों से छात्र गोधरा में परीक्षा देने आए थे, क्योंकि यहां उनकी पहले से ही सेटिंग हो गई थी।
