PM Modi's Instagram following jumps by nearly 1 million overnight after he posts selfie video addressing NEET paper leak; total reaches 102 million

Prime Minister Narendra Modi gained around 1 million Instagram followers overnight after sharing a video on the NEET paper leak, which has amassed over 271 million views. The viral post came as the Centre intensified its crackdown on examination malpractice, with the Union Cabinet approving tougher anti-paper leak provisions, including up to 10 years' imprisonment and a Rs 10 crore fine, while the National Testing Agency (NTA) removed 47 officials as part of a major overhaul following the NEET-UG controversy.
