An unidentified caller allegedly showed a question paper on a video call to a NEET aspirant in Ajmer on Saturday and demanded Rs 30,000 in exchange, prompting the city police to initiate an investigation.
Complaint Lodged by Former Student Leader
Former DAV College Students’ Union president and ABVP member Krishna Singh Thakur lodged a complaint with the police regarding the incident. According to the complaint, a first-year DAV College student, scheduled to appear for the NEET exam on Sunday, received a call from an unknown number. The caller claimed to have the NEET question paper and offered to provide it before the examination. When the student asked for proof, the caller allegedly displayed the paper during a video call.
Caller Demanded Rs 30,000
Thakur claimed he also received a call from the same number, during which the caller offered the question paper for Rs 30,000 and shared an online payment number for the transfer. Thakur provided a recorded conversation to the police as evidence.
Police Investigation Underway
Additional SP (City) Himanshu Jagid said police received the complaint and a team was assigned to investigate. He stated that efforts were under way to identify the caller and verify the authenticity of the question paper shown during the video call.
Police sources indicated that, by late evening, the initial assessment suggested it could be a fraud attempt aimed at cheating students appearing for the NEET re-exam scheduled for Sunday.
