The police team investigating the NEET impersonation scam has found that at least three students suspected of being involved in the scam appeared for NEET 2019 in Tamil Nadu on May 5, while their impersonators wrote the test on the same day in different cities.
One of the three students, a woman, was let off after it was found that she scored higher marks than her impersonator, who appeared for the test in Mumbai, and that she had submitted her original marksheet to obtain admission in a private deemed university.
Preliminary inquiries revealed another of the students, who has been detained and is being questioned, and the man who also appeared for the exam in a different city, had used the same names, but with minor changes in parents’ names and address details.
The CB-CID police have taken into custody the student and his father
for engaging an impersonator to write the examination.
While the TN resident appeared for the examination at the centre at the Tamil Nadu College of Engineering in Karumathampatti near Coimbatore, his impersonator appeared for the test at the centre in Swarim Public School in Lucknow.
For both candidates, the father’s initials were used as suffix in one application and prefix in the other.
The third student, police say, appeared for the exam at a Chennai centre, while his impersonator wrote it in New Delhi. CBCID chief Jaffer Sait said the investigating team had asked the National Testing Agency (NTA) to provide details of NEET candidates who had given similar names and addresses for verification.
