India has blocked the Telegram messaging app, alleging its failure to address channels sharing leaked questions from the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) undergraduate exam. The government claims Telegram did not adequately respond to requests to remove the illicit content, contributing to a widespread exam paper leak. Telegram disputes the government’s claims, asserting it promptly addressed concerns and provided data demonstrating its cooperation. The company has filed a legal challenge against the emergency blocking order, arguing the ban is disproportionate and lacks due process. The NEET exam, crucial for medical school admissions, has faced significant controversy due to alleged irregularities and widespread cheating. This action follows similar crackdowns on social media platforms regarding exam leaks, highlighting growing concerns about academic integrity in India. The court will now review the legality of the ban and the evidence presented by both sides.
