‘Why are accused not hanged yet?’: Khan Sir demands strict action over NEET paper leak case

PATNA: Educator Khan Sir has raised concerns over examination paper leaks, questioning the effectiveness of measures being introduced to secure the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and demanding stringent action against those responsible.Khan Sir said that paper leaks have repeatedly shattered the aspirations of thousands of students who spend years preparing for competitive examinations."Thousands and lakhs of students prepare for exams, but the papers get leaked. The dreams of so many poor, middle-class children are shattered," he said.Referring to reports that the Indian Air Force would be involved in the transportation of NEET question papers, Khan Sir argued that the core issue lies elsewhere."The Air Force will deliver the NEET exam paper. Typhoid injections don't work for malaria. The problem wasn't the delivery of the NEET exam paper. The problem was that the paper was leaking from where it was being printed," he said.The educator also called for strong action against individuals allegedly involved in examination paper leaks. Questioning the pace and nature of punitive measures, he asked why those caught in such cases had not faced harsher consequences."Why haven't the teachers who were caught been hanged yet? Why haven't they been encountered? Why haven't their homes been demolished?..." he added.His remarks come amid ongoing discussions over examination security and efforts by authorities to prevent question paper leaks in high-stakes competitive exams. Incidents of paper leaks in recent years have sparked widespread concern among students and parents, leading to demands for greater accountability and stronger safeguards in the examination system.(With agency inputs)
