Govt orders probe over exorbitant cancellation charges by online booking portals, warns of action

Union minister of consumer affairs Pralhad Joshi on Saturday said that he has ordered a probe into exorbitant cancellation charges being imposed by online air ticket booking platforms.

Have directed them to check other online ticket booking platforms too,” Joshi wrote on X. He added that if such practices are found to be unfair or in violation of consumer rights, it may amount to Unfair Trade Practices under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. “CCPA will take necessary action, including class action measures wherever appropriate, to protect consumer interests and ensure fair treatment of consumers.” The Union minister’s announcement came after …

The unravelling of a suspected leak in the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG), 2026, in Rajasthan began with an automated fine print on a WhatsApp message: “Forwarded many times.” When investigators following the trail of a “guess paper” stumbled upon this WhatsApp message, they realised that what they hoped was an isolated leak was much larger in scale. Officials of the Rajasthan Special Operations Group (SOG), which had been investigating the case before the CBI took charge on Tuesday, said that they found a WhatsApp group named ‘Private Mafia’, where the said paper was being circulated and had members who had paid various amounts, beginning from around Rs 5,000, to join the group. However, despite strict “instructions” from the group administrators not to share the paper, it was circulated far and wide. Officials said that preliminary investigation had indicated that the paper may have leaked from Nashik, Maharashtra. Nashik police officials said they have picked up a medical student, identified as Shubham Khairnar (30), who allegedly managed to obtain the question paper days before the exam …
