Ayushi Patel NEET Scandal: Fake Documents, Protests, & Political Fallout

Ayushi Patel went viral as the NEET result row exploded, with her video alleging irregularities in the NEET-UG exam garnering lakhs of views and making her the face of thousands of NEET aspirants demanding an overhaul of the medical entrance exam. However, in a stunning twist, it has now emerged that Ayushi faked her documents. The Allahabad High Court dismissed her petition accusing the National Testing Agency (NTA) of reducing her NEET score due to a torn OMR sheet. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had shared Ayushi's video, backing her claims, but now the BJP has accused Priyanka of promoting fakery. With the court's ruling, the NTA is free to pursue legal action against Ayushi. This development casts a shadow over the legitimacy of complaints from genuinely aggrieved students, and discontent with NEET-UG results continues to simmer across India. Protests have erupted nationwide, with demonstrators demanding justice and accountability. In Bihar, tensions are high with a probe underway into an alleged NEET paper leak scam, involving an inter-state gang and implicating former Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav. As the NEET row deepens, calls for accountability are echoing across the political and educational landscape, exposing a system under siege and India's future demanding answers.
