Mumbai: The policy of the Mahayuti government to play with the future of the young generation of Maharashtra has now become clear. The merit list of the State Service 2022 exam has been released a year ago, but till now the appointments of 623 officers are pending. Due to this, the students are facing mental stress and serious injustice is being done to their future.

The credibility of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission has completely ended during the time of the Mahayuti government, and its mismanagement, illegal interference and inaction have affected the rights of the students. In this context, a resolution has been taken to surround the secretaries of the Public Service Commission under the leadership of Mumbai President of Nationalist Youth Congress Sharadchandra Pawar Party, Adv. Amol Matele.

Adv. Statement of Amol Matele

“The state government should immediately stop playing with the future of students. By keeping the appointment of 623 candidates pending, the government has crossed the limits of its negligence. We are giving a clear message to the government and the Public Service Commission – our struggle for the rights of students will intensify. If a decision is not taken on time, we will take to the streets and increase the intensity of the movement.”

Demands of students

  • 623 officers should be appointed immediately.
  • Transparency should be ensured in the work of Maharashtra Public Service Commission.
  • Irregularities causing mental and physical stress to students should be eliminated.

Nationalist Youth Congress is committed to getting justice for the students through this siege movement and has resolved to hold the careless administration of the government accountable.

Jaipur, May 5: Jaipur Police have arrested five members of a gang involved in cheating during the NEET UG 2025 examination by using dummy candidates and unfair means.

The arrests were made following a raid at a flat in ABD Pristine Apartments located in Jagdamba Nagar, Karni Vihar, based on a tip-off, said officials on Monday.

The police recovered fake exam documents, Bluetooth devices, four SIM cards, mobile phones, and Rs 50,000 in cash from the possession of the accused. A Scorpio vehicle was also seized.

Those arrested include Ajit Kumar Barala (26), a resident of Chimanpura, Chomu; Sohan Lal Chaudhary (26), from Kushalpura, Samod; and Jitendra Sharma (24), from Bichpadi, Harmada.

DCP (West) Amit Kumar stated that the NEET UG 2025 exam, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), was held on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The arrested suspects were allegedly planning to help candidates clear the exam using illegal methods.

During the initial investigation, it was revealed that Sohan and Ajit were charging large sums of money from candidates in exchange for ensuring their success through fraudulent means.

Jitendra Sharma had been prepared as a dummy candidate, and the gang had used artificial intelligence tools on mobile phones to manipulate and merge photographs to create fake admit cards. Sharma was scheduled to appear for the NEET exam on behalf of Rohit Gora and was also preparing to sit for the Paramedical exam on May 27 in place of another candidate, Sanjay Chaudhary.

Based on information provided during interrogation, police also arrested the original candidates — Rohit Gora (20), a resident of Chomu, and Sanjay Chaudhary (19), from Samod.

The investigation revealed that Sohan and Ajit are postgraduate students at the National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA) near Zorawar Singh Gate, and live together in a flat in Jagdamba Nagar. Motivated by the lure of a lavish lifestyle and quick earnings, they allegedly turned to examination fraud.

Jitendra Sharma is a first-year MBBS student at the Copper Institute of Medical Science in Karnataka and had qualified NEET exam in 2024.

Meanwhile, further investigations are underway in the case, said police officials.
