## Resource

India’s government has temporarily blocked Telegram just before the re-administered NEET-UG medical exam, citing rampant cheating via leaked papers and fake evidence shared on the app. The ban, set to last until June 22, also disables message editing nationwide until June 30, following the takedown of dozens of fraudulent channels. While authorities say this curbs organized fraud, critics call it unconstitutional and ineffective, arguing it harms legitimate users and ignores systemic education flaws. With nearly 2.28 million candidates already registered, the move has sparked protests and demands for the education minister’s resignation, as investigations into the leak continue with over a dozen arrests made.
