These coaching teachers have their own Telegram channels where they share notes and study material with students. Banning the app right before exams would have created even more chaos than the paper leak itself. I'm telling you, the bureaucrats sitting in the government are either completely clueless about who actually leaked the paper, or they're simply trying to shift the blame onto Telegram. Either everyone involved is protecting the real culprits, or they all are involved in paper leak..

India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions. This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials. And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.

For years, Telegram has served the people of India. It was never about profit — our operations there run at a net loss of tens of millions of dollars annually. But that doesn’t matter. We are proud to be used in India.
