Bengaluru police issue a fact-check related to a claim that a NEET aspirant arrived late due to a Congress rally. According to police, the candidate does not blame the rally for the delay with supporting details; instead, police state the aspirant started for the exam centre only about half an hour before the cut-off time. Police also say the aspirant took a longer route to reach the centre, which contributed to being late. The fact-check aims to clarify the circumstances behind the late arrival and address reports suggesting that the rally affected the travel time. The police account focuses on the timing of departure and the route taken, rather than on any direct impact from the political event. The information presented by the police is intended to provide context on what factors led to the delay, based on the aspirant’s travel timeline as assessed by the authorities.
