A few chosen students who gave money to the accused were given access to the solved paper. Most of the MBBS students who are the solvers have been detained after they were all identified as coming from reputable colleges. The CBI spokesperson claimed that these investigators were specifically sent to Hazaribagh as part of the plot.

The CBI has taken seven supposed solvers into custody. Several masterminds and gang members who collaborated with Kumar have been discovered, with a number of them facing arrest.
