NEW DELHI: Dismissing as fake a viral video claiming the June 21 NEET-UG retest question paper had been leaked on the Telegram application, the Centre and National Testing Agency (NTA) Monday initiated action to trace those who created and circulated it.The Press Information Bureau’s Fact Check Unit said reports alleging a leak before the exam were “unfounded and false”. The video – circulated widely across social media platforms – purportedly showed that the question paper was available on Telegram before the test. Govt had blocked the app from June 16 to 22 to prevent cheating ahead of the retest. NTA said it is working with Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) and law-enforcement agencies to identify those responsible for originating the content.NTA director general Abhishek Singh said no complaint of any leak had been received. tnn
