In a statement, the EOU had claimed the “leaked” NEET-UG question paper was allegedly obtained from the Oasis School in Hazaribagh by the notorious Sanjeev Kumar alias Lutan Mukhiya gang.It had said the investigators had matched a partially burnt question paper found from the Patna safe house with the reference question paper provided by the NTA, confirming the leak’s origin.However, it could not clearly establish who was behind the alleged paper leak, officials said.According to them, the probe had also shown that laid down guidelines for opening the question paper boxes were not properly followed by the authorities in Hazaribagh.In media interviews, Haque has maintained that the box carrying the question papers could not be opened because its digital lock, which was supposed to unlock automatically, had malfunctioned.Following this, he contacted the NTA, which asked him to use a cutter to open the box, Haque has claimed.The boxes carrying question papers have two locks — a manual one that must be opened with a key and cutter and a digital lock that opens with a beep sound 45 minutes before the examination.Earlier on Thursday, the CBI had arrested two people from Patna, who had allegedly made arrangements for accommodation for NEET-UG examinees on May 4.
