The CBI is also investigating the case. Apart from this, the matter has also reached the Supreme Court. The NEET paper leak case is also a topic of discussion in Parliament, where the opposition is demanding a debate on it.
Discussion on JEE exam format

Earlier the Health Ministry had raised objections
Let us tell you that in the year 2018, the then Education Minister Prakash Javadekar had announced that from 2019, NEET would be conducted online and twice a year. However, the Ministry of Health objected to this announcement and said that this decision has been taken without consulting it. After this, the Ministry of Education was forced to withdraw its decision. The Health Ministry was concerned that if the exam was conducted online, poor and rural students would suffer.
