<h2>Why are students in Bihar protesting?</h2>The students in Bihar are protesting for the Teachers’ Recruitment Exams scheduled to be conducted by the BPSC next month. Another section of protesters demanded the cancellation of the BPSC Combined Competitive Examination held earlier this year. All the protesters took part in ‘Mukhyamantri Awas Gherao’ as part of their protest on Tuesday. Thousands took to the streets in Patna and marched towards the Bihar chief minister’s residence.

NEET controversy:&nbsp;The National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) controversy took a new turn Thursday (Jun 20) after reports emerged that an aspirant from the eastern Indian state of Bihar has admitted to having received question papers a day before the examination was conducted. This comes after four individuals—Anurag Yadav,&nbsp;Sikandar Yadavendu (aspirants),&nbsp;Nitish Kumar and&nbsp;Amit Anand (accused of leaking paper)—were arrested by Bihar Police's Economic Offences Unit last week in connection with the case.

Yadav, a 22-year-old aspirant, admitted before the police that he got the question paper a day before and was told to memorise it. He confirmed that the question paper that was leaked a day before was genuine, directly disputing a union minister's claim.

India's Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan last week rejected the allegations of rigging and instead blamed the opposition for spreading lies.

NEET controversy: Bihar aspirant admits he received question paper a day before exam

The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) in the Indian state of Bihar, which is probing allegations that the paper of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) was leaked ahead of the exams held on May 5 said they found evidence that suggests that some students knew the questions before they appeared for the examination, according to&nbsp;media reports, on Sunday (Jun 16).&nbsp;

<h2>What did the police find?</h2>

Media reports citing officials from the EOU said 13 people, including four students, have been arrested for their suspected involvement in the alleged leak and some have also been accused of receiving the question papers ahead of the test.&nbsp;

Additional Director General of Police, EOU, N H Khan told the Indian Express, that they had asked a set of questions to the National Testing Agency (NTA), which organises the NEET exam, and while they might have some follow-ups to their questions, their investigation is “very much suggestive of a paper leak.”

A report by Times of India, citing EOU Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Manavjeet Singh Dhillon said that they recovered a list of the 13 people from a “safe house” located on the outskirts of Patna.&nbsp;

The police also&nbsp;believe that around 30 medical aspirants had reportedly been summoned by people they described as the “exam mafia” to receive questions and answers ahead of the exam.&nbsp;

Dhillon claimed that four arrested candidates had “confessed” during interrogation that the questions were identical to those they had received at the “safe house” on May 4, according to TOI.&nbsp;

<h2>Education minister denies allegations of paper leak</h2>

In light of the media reports and nationwide protests by&nbsp;students, Indian Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, on Friday (Jun 14) said issues were witnessed in six of the over 4,700 centres where the exam was conducted, but otherwise, NEET was conducted satisfactorily across the country.&nbsp;

He also went on to deny the allegations of corruption in NTA and that the paper was leaked, but added that if anything is proven, “no one will be spared”. Pradhan said that they are looking into every aspect and those responsible for the lapses will be held accountable.&nbsp;

Bihar Police are claiming that the two recent train accidents near Kanpur that left 151 people dead and injured close to 200 were caused by Pakistan&#39;s ISI. &nbsp;

A Times of India report on Wednesday said the ISI&#39;s alleged role in the accidents was unearthed after Bihar police arrested three men -- Umashankar Patel, Motilal Paswan, and Mukesh Yadav --&nbsp;from Motihari near the Indo-Nepal border. Bihar Police told the Times of India that the three men were arrested for their role in &quot;placing a cooker bomb on the railway tracks near Ghorasaran on October 1 last year&quot;.&nbsp;

Ghorasaran is in the state of Bihar -- the two train derailments near Kanpur occurred in the state of Uttar Pradesh.&nbsp;

The first, on November 20, left 151 people dead and more than 150 injured.&nbsp;

The second, on December 28 and again near Kanpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh, left more than 40 people injured. There were no deaths.&nbsp;

Bihar Police told the Times of India that the three men they had arrested were working on the orders of an ISI agent, a Nepalese citizen based in Dubai.

Bihar Police told the Times of India that the arrested trio had so far received Rs 3 lakh from Brij Kishore Giri, a Nepalese citizen, for &quot;engineering train accidents&quot;.

The report added that Girl, along with a Shambhu Giri and a&nbsp;Mujahir Ansari, was recently arrested by Nepalese police.&nbsp;

The pressure cooker bomb that had been placed on the tracks in Ghorsaran in Bihar on October 1 was found by villagers and defused by police.&nbsp;

The Times of India report said: &quot;Sources said Motilal told police he had planted explosives on the tracks near Kanpur for derailing the two trains.&quot;&nbsp;

And, &quot;quoting a police officer involved in the investigation&quot;, the report added&nbsp;that: &quot;Brij had promised flats, vehicles and finances to produce a Bhojpuri movie to the trio arrested from Motihari.&quot; &nbsp;&nbsp;
