Telegram challenging Indian government order that temporarily blocks its use, report says

NEW DELHI: Messaging app Telegram has filed a ​petition in court challenging an Indian government order that has temporarily blocked use of the platform ‌in an ‌effort to prevent ​exam ‌fraud, ⁠legal ​website Bar ⁠and Bench reported on Wednesday.
The blocking of the app, which began on Tuesday ⁠and will run until ‌June ‌22, was ​put ‌in place to ‌stop candidates for medical school cheating from on exams.
Telegram did not ‌immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Last ⁠month, ⁠the Indian government canceled a key undergraduate entrance exam for medical colleges after authorities said they were investigating allegations that its questions had ​been ​leaked.
