Kerala police have launched an investigation into several Instagram and YouTube channels that are allegedly exploiting student anxiety by offering clues to test papers for the Onam mid-term examinations. The channels reportedly lure students with promises of leaked questions or hints, raising concerns about academic integrity and student safety.
According to local reports, the police cyber cell is tracking these channels, which have been active in the run-up to the examinations. Authorities have urged students and parents to avoid such channels and report any suspicious activity. The investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made so far.
This crackdown comes amid broader efforts by educational authorities to prevent malpractice and protect students from online scams. The police have not disclosed the names of the channels or the number of accounts under scrutiny, but they have warned that legal action will be taken against those found guilty.
