India's temporary Telegram block has put exam fraud back at the centre of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test - Undergraduate (NEET-UG) row, with officials saying the app was being used by cheating rackets to target candidates ahead of the re-test in New Delhi and across India on 21 June. The government says the Telegram restriction will remain in place until 22 June.
The move affects a platform that the National Testing Agency says was being used to 'defraud candidates', while critics argue it risks punishing ordinary users for a much bigger system failure.
