"Throughly investigating the matter," officers declared.N H Khan, Additional Director General of Police, EOU, told The Indian Express that "the investigation shall now be conducted by the newly constituted SIT of the agency.""The SIT has seized post-dated checks that suggest that money was being paid by candidates to an organized gang," an EOU source stated. Even if we have confirmation that question papers were burned at an exam center, it is insufficient to conclude that there was a paper leak.

Thus far in this case, thirteen people have been taken into custody. An EOU officer stated, "Of these, some are members of an organized gang, and others are candidates and their parents."According to the officer, the gang met up with a total of thirty-five applicants at Learn Boys Hostel and Learn Play School in the Khemnichak district of Patna prior to the exam. The source stated, "Some burned question paper remnants have been taken from the school in question, and this will be looked into." He also mentioned that one of the people detained, Nitish Kumar from Gaya, has already been detained in relation to a Bihar PSC TRE-3 paper leak case from Hazaribagh."In an isolated incident at Girls Higher Secondary Adarsh Vidya Mandir, Mantown, Sawai Madhopur (Rajasthan), Hindi-medium students were given English medium question paper by mistake and by the time the invigilator was correcting the mistake, students forcefully walked out of the exam hall with the question paper," a senior NTA official told The Indian Express, insisting there was no paper leak. Because of this, at approximately 4 p.m., the question paper was made available online; however, by then, the exam had already begun at all other testing locations nationwide. Therefore, there hasn't been a "leak" of the NEET UG exam.
