A man from Bihar, India, who says he has been living in Russia for the past four months, has claimed that police falsely included him in a first information report (FIR) related to protests over a leaked NEET medical entrance exam paper. The man, identified by local media as Mohammad Sadaqat, made the assertion in a video purportedly filmed in Russia. In the video, he states he was unaware of the charges until someone showed him the FIR online. The Kishanganj Superintendent of Police responded by inviting anyone with concerns to contact the police directly. Meanwhile, the Bihar government has announced it will withdraw all cases linked to the NEET paper leak protests and release those already arrested. The two reports agree on the key facts: the man’s claim of being abroad, the video, and the government’s plan to drop the cases. No details were provided on how the man’s name came to be included in the FIR. The NEET paper leak had sparked widespread protests across Bihar earlier this year, leading to multiple arrests and legal actions. The government’s move to void the cases is seen as an effort to defuse tensions, though the investigation into the leak itself continues.
