Authorities took this strong action because organized cheating networks were using Telegram channels to spread fake question papers and demand massive sums of money from anxious students. Officials also ordered the platform to completely disable its message editing feature until June 30. Fraudsters were heavily misusing this tool to alter old messages with real question papers after the exam to create false proof of early leaks.

The testing agency clarified that no real papers are available outside the secure system and urged all candidates to focus on their studies. While acknowledging the temporary inconvenience caused to normal users, the government stated this emergency measure is vital to protect the medical entrance exam.
