Summary
The platform will be unavailable until June 22 after a key test paper was purportedly leaked. India has temporarily blocked Telegram for a strange justification: test cheating. The government recently annulled the results of a key medical school entrance test because it said that the answers were leaked ahead of time on Telegram, The Financial Times reports. To preserve the integrity of the re-test slated for June 21, the government is completely blocking the messaging app until exams finish on June 22.
