CM Yogi request Akanksha Singh be named NEET 2020 topper along with Soyeb Aftab

NEET 2020: UP CM Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday ordered the Chief Secretary of the state to write a letter to the National Testing Agency (NTA) to get the first position in the All India Rank for National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) 2020. Information was later given to the press.
