Let's Talk Jurisprudence ; do you believe leaking a national level exam like the NEET should be considered a threat to the national security?

RANT / VENT 😡😡

Hi! I have been thinking thought around this question, while prima facie it may be an easier one to answer, i.e. terrorism is de-jure only physical violence or incitement , HOWEVER if we were to debate, don't you believe that it is a national security threat?

  1. Leaking a paper might be done with intent to gain huge amount of money, however isn't it a direct challenge to the institutional mechanism established by constitutional bodies like the NTA and The Ministry of Education? to even come up with such heinous plan to destroy the procedures made by the system should be considered essentially an act of dissent against the government, perhaps against the sovereignty of the state.
  2. Similarly, this should be considered as a deliberate threat to the Rule of Law and the rejection of the government's authority to maintain a fair and orderly society.
  3. Given the magnitude of aspirants sitting for the exam every year, it could create massive public distrust, I am not shocked this hasn't happened yet, because we live in India and people here are blinded by cultural nationalism to even revolt against systemic failure
  4. NEET could be just an example, but think of the other exams where the government might or might not have gone through the multiple security shielding YET the exam paper gets leaked.
  5. It may be potentially arbitrary if this ever happens in reality, but again the magnitude of harm caused and the way the execution of a plan this HUGE can be definitely linked with organised crimes and acts of terror. Why don't we comply to the authority of the government?

Thoughts? I am not very firm in this opinion but it does sound very debatable.
