Rhiya Ahir Reacts to PM Modi's NEET Paper Leak Assurance

Rhiya Ahir, a model who became a face of student protests in Mumbai, reacted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assurance of stricter action against examination paper leaks.

She welcomed the government's promises but stressed the need for actual implementation.

Ahir, known for standing in front of a police van during protests, urged the government to ensure that the alleged mastermind of the 2024 paper leak is not released on bail again.

PM Modi, in a video message, outlined the government's response, including arrests, ensuring students do not lose an academic year, and proposing legislation for a fast-track judicial mechanism for paper leak cases.

Ahir's actions during the protest involved demanding the release of detained protesters and questioning police actions.
