'Munna Bhai' revisited: Medical students booked for NEET-UG 2023 fraud

Two medical students have landed in trouble after the CBI caught them pulling off a classic exam scam during NEET-UG 2023.
Vikash from Rajasthan allegedly took the test in place of Praveen Godara from Jodhpur at a Delhi center, helping Godara snag a seat at Government Institute of Medical Sciences, Noida.

TL;DR

Both students booked under serious charges

Vikash reportedly forged Godara's signature and handwriting on both attendance and answer sheets to pass as him.
The CBI has booked both students under serious charges like criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and forgery.
Even though an investigation is underway, both are still enrolled in different MBBS colleges for now.
The case puts a spotlight on loopholes in NEET's security.
