The Bengaluru Traffic Police addressed allegations that a NEET candidate missed the exam due to traffic disruptions from a Congress rally. This clarification has sparked further debate, with BJP and JD(S) leaders criticizing the Congress. The police stated that CCTV footage showed the candidate arrived late due to their delayed departure and route choice, not rally-related congestion.
The police emphasized that traffic conditions were normal on the exam day, with arrangements made for smooth traffic flow. They clarified that the delay was primarily due to the candidate’s late start and route selection, rather than rally-induced congestion. Amid social media allegations, the police assured that measures were in place to minimize disruptions during the event.
In an official statement, the police detailed the candidate’s departure time and late arrival at the exam center. They highlighted that the delay was not caused by rally traffic but by the candidate’s actions. The police concluded that the delay was unrelated to the public event’s traffic impact, based on CCTV evidence and route analysis.
