NEET paper shown on video call in Ajmer:Alleged sale for ₹30,000; student union leader files police complaint

Just a day before the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), a case of alleged paper sale has surfaced in Ajmer. A complaint has been filed with the police by Krishna Singh Thakur, president of the student union at DAV College and member of the ABVP state executive. The matter involves allegations that a question paper was shown over a video call and money was demanded in exchange. Krishna Singh Thakur said that a first-year student of DAV College received a call from an unknown number. The caller claimed that he possessed the complete NEET question paper and could provide it before the examination. When the student asked for proof, the accused allegedly showed the question paper during a video call. The student then informed him about the incident. After this, Thakur himself contacted the number. The accused allegedly demanded ₹30,000 in exchange for providing the NEET paper and also sent a PhonePe QR code for the transfer. The accused reportedly concealed his identity and communicated only via video calls. Superintendent of Police Usha Yadav confirmed that a case of alleged paper sale through video call has come to light and said that an investigation is currently underway. Suspicion of many students falling into the trap Krishna Singh Thakur claimed that several students in Ajmer may have already fallen victim to such scams and lost money. He also mentioned a similar case reported in Bhilwara, where students were allegedly cheated of ₹4,000 each on the promise of providing question papers. He said the incident appears to be part of an organized fraud targeting competitive exam aspirants. Complaint filed with police, investigation started Given the seriousness of the matter, Thakur met Additional SP Himanshu Jangid and submitted details along with available evidence. Police have started investigating the mobile number, the PhonePe QR code, and the authenticity of the question paper shown during the video call. Authorities are also examining whether this is part of a larger paper leak network or a new cyber fraud method targeting students. Appeal to Students – Don’t fall for any trap Student leaders have urged NEET aspirants not to trust anyone claiming to provide question papers or exam material. They have advised candidates to avoid transferring money and to immediately report such calls or messages to police or cyber cells. Police are continuing their probe to determine the full extent of the suspected scam. ​
