52-year-old Pritam Kumar is an officer in the Bihar Administrative Service. In August 2022, he was made Government Private Secretary (Appeal Secretary) to Tejashwi Yadav and has been with him ever since. Today the Deputy CM of Bihar has accused him of being involved in the NEET paper leak. It is obvious that Pritam Kumar’s troubles are about to increase. First of all know what Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Sinha said about Pritam Kumar?
What is the charge against Pritam Kumar?
Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Sinha said that in the NEET paper leak case, prima facie information has been received that Pritam Kumar is related to Sikandar. Sikandar is considered to be the mastermind of Pepperleak. Vijay Sinha said that Pritam booked a room for Sikandar in the guest book. On May 1, Pritam called Pradeep, an employee of the road construction department, to book a room for Sikander at the inspection guest house of the state government’s road construction department. Responsibility will be determined in this matter and the matter will be investigated. Pritam Kumar was in constant touch with Sikander Prasad Yadvendu, the main accused arrested by the Bihar Police in the alleged paper leak case of NEET-UG 2024. The relationship between the RJD leader and the official linked to the main accused should be thoroughly investigated. Pritam used to arrange for Sikandar to stay in guest houses in Patna and other places. I have the details of the messages Pritam sent to the concerned people to arrange Sikandar’s accommodation. The whole incident shows how RJD leaders are involved in corruption. There are reports that the accused was associated with Lalu Prasad during his judicial custody in Ranchi.

Who is Sikander Prasad Yadvendu?
Anurag Yadav, the accused arrested by the police in the NEET paper leak case, in his confession said that all the arrangements for the NEET exam were made by his uncle Sikandar Prasad Yadvendu. Papers were also sold to boys for Rs 30 to 32 lakhs. Sikander Prasad Yadvendu is a Junior Engineer in Danapur Municipal Council. Anurag was preparing for NEET at Allen Coaching Center in Kota. He said that my uncle called me and said that there is NEET exam, now you come back from Kota. All the preparations for the exam have been done. I came back from Kota on his request. Coaching in Kota, Anurag said that my uncle left me on the night of 04.05.24 with Amit Anand and Nitish Kumar. NEET exam question paper and answer book were given there. Preparations for the exam questions were done at night. My center was in DY Patil School and when I went to the school to take the exam, I got the same questions in the exam which were completely memorized. After the exam suddenly the police came and arrested me, after which I confessed my crime during interrogation.
RJD said attack
After Vijay Sinha’s Tejashwi Yadav’s PS Pritam Yadav, the Rashtriya Janata Dal counter-tweeted accusing the BJP and Janata Dal United of having links with some of the accused in the leak case. RJD posted on X and wrote, “#ππππ’s paper was leaked in three states Bihar, Gujarat and Haryana ruled by πππ. In all three places the involvement of BJP leaders was exposed. The Union Education Minister keeps saying that no paper was leaked anywhere.” While the opposition and millions of examinees are constantly saying that ππΈπ©βπ« πβictionπ€ has happened.”
