The CBI has registered a case to look into the alleged copying of question paper for the AIIMS MBBS entrance examination conducted on May 28 and also carried out searches at seven locations in the country. The Central Bureau of Investigation sources said today, the searches took place at one place in Bagaha, Bihar and at six places in Ghaziabad including the HRIT campus in Morta area of Ghaziabad.

The premier investigation agency has seized digital evidence in connection with the case. The case has been registered on a complaint from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences that snapshots of its MBBS entrance examination had made it to social media.

Whistleblower of Vyapam scam, Anand Rai, in a series of tweets, posted images of question papers of the entrance examination. He claimed to have received the question paper screenshots from a source who said these were leaked from a college in Lucknow when the online test was on.

A committee constituted by AIIMS to look into the issue rejected the allegations of question paper leak and recommended a probe by the central agency.
