He said, “The Economic Offences Unit (EOU) has not levelled any allegations against my PA; only Vijay Sinha is speaking about it. I urge the CM to call my PA for questioning. We have no objection.” Yadav also accused the officials of twisting the case to save the main culprit. He said a photo of the accused with Samrat Choudhary has surfaced. “They should call my assistant and if he has done any mistake, he should be arrested. Nothing will be gained by dragging my name in this case. The mastermind behind the paper leak is Amit Anand and action should be taken against him,” Yadav said.
The NEET paper leak case has created an uproar across the country. A day earlier, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha had accused Tejashwi Yadav’s secretary Pritam Kumar of booking rooms for the accused involved in the paper leak.
Allegations made by Vijay Sinha
Vijay Sinha alleged that Yadav’s personal secretary Pritam Kumar had booked rooms for mastermind Sikander through a guest house employee named Pradeep. Sinha further claimed that those arrested at the guest house are linked to Pritam, who works as personal secretary to former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav.
