As the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is conducting the active investigation in connection with the 2024 NEET-UG examination malpractices, a fresh development suggested that several candidates hailing from states like Odisha, Bihar, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, who appeared for the exam from a center in Gujarat's Godhra, were asked by the accused to choose Gujarati as the languag🍰e of the examination.

According to the probe agency🅺, this move was to enable the local Gujarati individuals involved with the exam malpractices to fill out t🌃heir answer sheets. The accused reportedly contacted these out-of-state candidates through different links.

Furthermore, the investigation has also revealed that the candidates from the other states were also allegedly asked to mention Gujarat's Panchmahal or Vadodara as their permanent address. CBI also hi🎃gh❀lighted that the same operators controlled both examination centers.
