The examination centre authorities were reportedly aware of only two locks on the boxes carrying the question papers, while Mukhiya had access to a third hidden lock.
The NTA's dedicated portal for receiving such concerns has flagged more than 1,500 claims of alleged paper leaks for the upcoming medical entrance exam.
Sanjeev Mukhiya was serving as a technical assistant at Horticulture College, Noorsarai (Nalanda) when his name figured in the NEET UG 2024 question paper leak case.
