CBI summons 2 more Oasis teachers in NEET leak case

HAZARIBAG: CBI summoned to Patna for interrogation Monday two more teachers of the school in Jharkhand's Hazaribag whose principal and vice principal were arrested last week in the NEET-UG paper leak case. The agency is also preparing dossiers on "three well-known residents" suspected to be involved in the paper leak, based on arrested Oasis School principal Ehsanul Haque's call records, officials said.
The two teachers under the scanner, including the deputy superintendent of the NEET-UG centre at Oasis School, were detained for questioning at the Central Coalfields Ltd guesthouse in Charhi last week.They were allowed to leave before CBI arrested Haque, vice principal Md Imtiyaz Alam, and journalist Jamaluddin.
Hazaribag's link in the NEET paper leak surfaced after Bihar's Economic Offences Unit found a half-burnt question paper with Oasis School's NEET centre code in a "safe house" that had been used by a group of examinees and their "handlers" the night before the May 5 test.
CBI sources said that the investigation into Haque's role in the paper leak case had since expanded to assessing the properties and wealth he had allegedly amassed. The value of his house in Hazaribag's Hamia is allegedly worth several times more than his disclosed source of income.
The arrested principal's answers to questions regarding the other properties in his name have been "unsatisfactory", an official said.
Haque and his two co-accused are in CBI custody until July 4. Sources said the agency could seek an extension of their remand to take them to Delhi after July 5 for further questioning.
