NEET exam is a Scam. Right under the nose of Modi 2.0. NTA is an agency reporting to the Ministry of Education. I don’t think this country is outraging enough on this scam. No retest has been ordered. No CBI, IT, ED probe ordered. Kids forced to protest on streets and courts.

‘During the critical election period, we have successfully responded to thousands of user inquiries via the tipline in March and April alone. We strongly disagree with the portrayal of Newschecker in the article and find it both incorrect and uninformed’

The story on fact-checking WhatsApp tiplines by @restofworld is filled with inconsistent data, and inaccuracies, and is based on a false premise that misrepresents our efforts. We're setting the record straight. Read our response newschecker.in/daily-reads/re…

A story by @restofworld on WhatsApp tiplines including @dau_mca is riddled with inaccuracies and mischaracterisations. Efforts to seek corrections have been in vain. Here is our response: mcaindia.in/blogs/mca-rest…


AI is muddling the discourse further, becoming an easy way out of controversies, as people and parties blame faux pas on the new tech

Remember my UPI scam tweet? That week *every* newspaper's website had regurgitated my entire thread (w/o consent). @pankajmcc is the only one who actually took the time to talk to me (and others) and then wrote this. Cc @NewscheckerIn newschecker.in/scam-watch/got…

Received such a call just now. On telling him that he is a bloody scammer, the guy started abusing 😂 It felt like a scam right from the beginning but I hadn't heard about this (unlike the Fedex scam). Came across this tweet when I searched for "Telecom department" scam.

Fraudsters are posing as officials of telecom department and threatening to disconnect mobile phone connections, and ensnaring users in a web of deceit. Find out more details on the new 'telecom' scam that is defrauding people of their hard earned money newschecker.in/scam-watch/sca…
