As per news report of The Indian Express, while the Kerala Police Tuesday registered a case in connection with the incident in the state’s Kollam district, the NTA has, in a statement issued Monday night, contested the charges, saying the the observers who were in charge of the examination centre did not report any such incident. But the education ministry, under which the NTA comes, is likely to have a relook at the claims made by the observers. “The NTA holds three major entrances annually, of which the NEET is the largest with over 18 lakh registrations. This is an isolated incident but the ministry has taken it very seriously. NTA is sending a team to Kerala in this regard,” a senior official said.
