Amid the NEET-UG paper leak allegations, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) intensified its probe into the Oasis school of Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, and interrogated staff and principal on Wednesday.
After a 12-member CBI team arrived in Hazaribag on Tuesday evening, the team visited the school on Wednesday, with some members also going to the main branch of the State Bank of India (SBI) in the district, as the bank manager was reportedly the custodian of the question papers, PTI reported.
The CBI interrogated Dr Ehsanul Haque, principal of Oasis School and district coordinator of the NEET-UG exam in Hazaribag, for several hours. They then took him to a guest house in Charhi, Hazaribag, where he and several others were reportedly questioned until late evening, according to sources.
According to recent updates, two individuals including the principal have been released after the interrogation.
