“I want to assure everyone that the government is committed to protecting the interests of students. We will not compromise on transparency,” the minister said, addressing a press conference.

“In the context of the NEET exam, we are in touch with Bihar government. We are receiving some information from Patna. Police Police are investigating and a detailed report will be submitted by them. Following credible information, strict action will be taken against the guilty," he said.
