The Bihar Police have busted a cheating racket in Lakhisarai during the NEET-UG re-exam, arresting 30 people, including medical students and employees of a biometric company.

The police raided exam centres at three schools and recovered mobile phones and documents from the accused.

Among those arrested were nine impersonators, a candidate, two helpers, and 18 biometric staff.

Police identified Ravi Shankar and Arpit Raj as the masterminds behind the network, which allegedly involved students at medical colleges as 'solvers' and impersonators.

The impersonators were charged ₹10 to 12 lakh per candidate, with an advance of one to two lakh rupees taken before the exam.

Police are investigating bank accounts, mobile call details, and digital transactions in connection with the case.
