Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Mallikarjun Kharge led a march towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence over the NEET paper leak and the alleged crackdown on student protesters before police detained the demonstrators. Rahul Gandhi was dragged away after refusing to leave the protest site, while talks between him and Union Minister Jitendra Singh failed to break the deadlock. Congress demanded Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation and a discussion on paper leaks in Parliament, while the government said it was willing to debate the issue but rejected additional demands. The protest followed the previous day’s Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led agitation in Delhi.
