Following the post, several users took to social media to highlight specific cases of alleged scams and question the pace of enforcement.

One user alleged, “This guy on Telegram has been doing fraud for almost a month. Why is he not getting banned? He is selling NEET paper for ₹10,000 + ₹40,000 after the exam and is not afraid at all.”

Another x user pointed to what they described as a larger network, stating, “They are maintaining a large racket. Every year before the exam, paper leak videos surface. This time they are supplying papers via WhatsApp so they can’t be blocked. Why is NTA silent? No strict action?”

A NEET aspirant also expressed frustration over fairness, saying, “We are working hard for NEET, and some people are buying papers to score marks. If they have money, why not take a private seat? Is this really being banned?”
