Telegram sues Indian government over alleged NEET paper leak ban
Telegram is taking the Indian government to court after being banned on June 16 for allegedly being used to leak NEET exam papers.
The ban came right before a retest scheduled for June 21, affecting millions of users in India.
Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov called the move a "mistake" that punishes regular users without really fixing the problem.
Indian officials defend Telegram ban
Indian officials say they had to block Telegram under the Information Technology Act because cheating groups misused it during exams.
While they admit it's inconvenient for many, they believe it was necessary.
Meanwhile, Telegram says it has already removed hundreds of cheating channels and made "edited" messages easier to spot.
Critics (including students) argue that fixing flaws in India's exam system matters more than banning apps.
