Atri and Sanjeev Mukhiya, though operating separately, are both involved in the business of leaking exam papers. Notably, Mukhiya's son, Dr Shiv Kumar, had studied alongside Atri.
In the NEET case, around 25 candidates were allegedly accommodated by Mukhiya at a boys' hostel in Patna, where they were provided with the leaked exam materials the day before the test.
Though Atri's direct involvement in the NEET paper leak hasn't been confirmed, his connection to Mukhiya's gang has raised suspicions. Atri remains behind bars due to the previous arrests, but his name has surfaced in the ongoing investigation due to these affiliations.
