However, as of now the investigation is underway and therefore NTA has been asked to withhold results for these candidates.

Investigations underway against the NEET Solver Gang

Reports coming from UP Police have hinted that the investigation is in advanced stages and currently the police has gathered the complete bio-data and also obtained matching the fingerprints of all candidates and tallied them against the sample finger prints that were submitted by them as part of the registration process. For now, the police is trying to formulate a holistic strategy to take the probe ahead by co-ordinating with investigating authorities from other states as well. A strategy for further action in the NEET solver gang case has been prepared and solid evidence is being gathered to oppose the anticipatory bail," said the commissioner.
