Telegram challenges Centre’s temporary ban in Delhi High Court ahead of NEET-UG re-test
Messaging platform Telegram has approached the Delhi High Court against the Centre’s decision to temporarily block its services in India ahead of the NEET-UG 2026 re-examination.
The government imposed the restriction until June 22, citing concerns that the platform was being used by cheating networks and fraudsters to spread fake question papers and mislead students.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) reportedly issued the order under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act following recommendations from the National Testing Agency (NTA).
