Thousands of supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) marched towards Parliament in New Delhi on Monday, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET paper leak. Delhi Police used barricades and a lathi-charge to stop protesters from reaching Parliament, triggering chaos as several people fell during the crackdown. CJP spokesperson Saurav Das claimed party founder Abhijeet Dipke was detained by police. Samajwadi Party leaders, including Akhilesh Yadav and Dimple Yadav, criticised the police action and demanded justice for NEET students, alleging excessive force was used against peaceful protesters.
