‘Rakshak hi bhakshak ban gaye’: Pradhan on NEET paper leak case, takes responsibility for student suicides

India's Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has taken responsibility for the student suicides connected to the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) paper leak scandal. The minister's acknowledgment follows intense scrutiny and public outcry over the integrity of the medical entrance examination.

More than 2 million students participated in the re-examination held on Sunday, which was conducted under stringent security measures. The leak had caused significant distress among aspiring medical students, leading to widespread protests and demands for accountability. Pradhan's statement, "Rakshak hi bhakshak ban gaye" (The protector has become the destroyer), reflects the gravity of the situation and the perceived failure of the system to safeguard the students' future.

The minister's acceptance of responsibility aims to address the deep-seated concerns about fairness and transparency in the examination process. The government faces pressure to implement robust measures to prevent future leaks and restore confidence in the national medical entrance tests.
