Now, RJD comes up with Bihar dy CM's pic with leak accused

PATNA: Bihar deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha's purported expose linking the arrested accused in NEET paper-leak case with an aide of RJD's Tejashwi Yadav prompted the latter's party to release an undated picture Friday showing co-accused Amit Anand alongside the other deputy CM Samrat Choudhary (in pic above).
The political tit-for-tat followed a strong rebuttal by Tejashwi of Sinha's allegation, saying dragging his or his personal assistant's name into the case "won't benefit anyone".
"They (BJP) have their govt in state and Centre. They have investigating agencies at their disposal. Why don't they interrogate whoever they believe is involved in the leak and arrest the person if they find him guilty?" Tejashwi said. "I do not have a problem with that."
RJD then posted on X deputy CM Choudhary's picture with the suspected mastermind and wrote, "The main accused in NEET paper leak scam with deputy CM of Bihar. The so-called minister who was felicitated by the accused has deleted all photos with him from his social media handles, but don't worry, we have them all."
Sinha, whose allegation invited RJD's retort, defended his colleague, saying being photographed with a suspect couldn't be proof of anyone's involvement in the case. "We are in public life, so anyone can take selfies with us. It would be better if they share evidence to support the allegation." He said a high-level probe by an independent agency would bring out the truth, hastening to add that any such decision was CM Nitish Kumar's prerogative.
"On my part, I did the job of exposing links between Tejashwi's aide and a suspect in the case. Whatever decision (regarding a probe) will be taken by the CM, considering the seriousness of situation and evidence available," he told TOI.
Sinha had on Wednesday released a list of calls that Tejashwi's personal secretary had allegedly made to book accommodation in a guesthouse for NEET paper-leak suspect Sikandar Yadavendu.
