"We are surprised over the suspicious activities of the AIIMS students. We are cooperating with the CBI. They were taken by the CBI team on Wednesday evening and have not returned to our institution so far," Paul said.
"It is a serious matter for us and our institution is committed to aiding the investigation," he said.
The four MBBS students of Patna AIIMS come under the radar of CBI following the arrest of Rakesh Ranjan alias Rocky, who is believed to be a key player in the scandal alongside the primary accused, Sanjeev Mukhiya.
Following this, the CBI confiscated their laptops and mobile phones to gather further evidence.
