NEET fraud crackdown: Telegram app to remain banned in India till June 22
The Centre has restricted access to the Telegram platform in India till June 22 to protect the integrity of the re-test of NEET (UG) examinations on June 21.
A direction requiring Telegram to disable in India and alongwith the message-editing feature — in respect of messages already posted — for a defined period ending June 30 has also been issued. The National Testing Agency (NTA) said it would address the specific structural feature through which the platform has been used to fabricate after-the-event “paper leak” evidence in respect of national examinations.
