Telegram restricted in India until June 21 over fake NEET exam papers

The National Testing Agency has requested a temporary restriction on Telegram in India until June 21 to combat fraud linked to the upcoming NEET examination. The agency stated that multiple Telegram groups were promoting fake exam papers and scamming candidates who paid for access to these materials.

The move aims to protect test-takers from fraudulent schemes operating on the messaging platform ahead of the crucial medical entrance exam.
