Ajmer police have launched an investigation after an unidentified caller allegedly contacted a NEET aspirant and claimed to possess the examination question paper, offering to share it in exchange for ₹30,000, as per a TOI report.

The complaint was filed by former DAV College Students’ Union president and ABVP member Krishna Singh Thakur, who alleged that a first-year student of DAV College received a call from an unknown number ahead of the NEET examination scheduled for Sunday.

According to the complaint, the caller claimed to have access to the NEET question paper and offered to provide it before the examination. When the student sought proof, the caller allegedly displayed what appeared to be the question paper during a video call.

Thakur submitted a recording of the conversation to the police as part of the complaint.

Confirming the development, Additional SP (City) Himanshu Jagid said police had received the complaint and assigned a team to investigate the matter.

He said efforts were underway to identify the caller and determine whether the question paper shown during the video call was genuine.

Police sources said that preliminary findings as of Saturday evening indicated the possibility of a fraud attempt aimed at misleading students appearing for the NEET re-examination on Sunday. However, officials cited by TOI said the investigation was continuing and no conclusions had been reached regarding the authenticity of the material shown by the caller.
