Delhi Police cleared the Jantar Mantar protest site on Monday after using lathicharge and tear gas to disperse demonstrators during the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) Parliament march. The protest, demanding Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the alleged NEET paper leak, continued in parts of Central Delhi. CJP leaders met Union Minister JP Nadda and submitted their demands, while the BJP leader said a verbal discussion was held. Police maintained heavy security across the area as political leaders criticised the crackdown. Authorities continue to monitor the situation, while the protest remains ongoing.
