Delhi protesters continue nighttime sit-ins after Modi's fast-track courts pledge on exam leaks

Jul 24, 2026

BBC reports live from Jantar Mantar in Delhi around 11:30 p.m. on ongoing evening protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The segment covers shop closures ordered by police, public anxiety over possible crackdowns, and a Delhi police statement denying any crackdown. It notes this is the first protest after PM Modi's July 23 X post announcing fast-track courts for exam paper leak cases. The report highlights that Modi's post is his closest acknowledgment yet of the protests over NEET-UG leaks but does not address them directly. Interviewees at the scene indicate the announcement is insufficient. Protests have continued for over a month with demands including the education minister's resignation.

CJP protesters clash with Delhi police over NEET leaks, demand Pradhan resignation

Jul 20, 2026

Tens of thousands protested in New Delhi demanding reforms and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan after alleged NEET exam leaks. Demonstrators from the youth-led Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) reported police using tear gas and batons; Delhi police stated the protest was handled professionally. The movement stems from the May 2026 NEET paper leak that forced over 2 million students to retake the test. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke cited 20 suicides linked to exam stress. Activist Sonam Wangchuk joined with a hunger strike; demands include his release, Pradhan's resignation, and compensation for affected families. A CJP spokesperson noted talks with Health Minister JP Nadda.
