A student on Twitter asked the government to issue a notice on the case and said: “say anything about it or issue anything? you told us that the neet paper leak was rubbish one day before the paper but one day after the paper, we know it was true? is this what we deserve? after working like goats for 2 years to only have 1 attempt and that is also scammed?”
