Authorities have extended the internet shutdown in parts of Central Delhi until midnight as tensions continued during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protest over the alleged NEET paper leak. Police and protesters faced off near Sansad Marg, with reports of bottles being thrown at security personnel. Heavy police deployment remains in place, while 16 Delhi Metro stations remain closed. The government has offered another round of talks, with Union minister J P Nadda saying discussions can be held at his office or residence. CJP leaders have demanded a neutral venue and continue to seek Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. (PC: HT)
