Thousands of youths converged in Delhi's historic Jantar Mantar to demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged exam‑paper leaks.
The protest, led by the youth‑driven Cockroach Janta Party, aimed to highlight systemic weaknesses in NEET and push for comprehensive education reform.
Despite a police order banning the march, demonstrators persisted, triggering a violent clash when security forces used tear gas and batons.
At least 60 protesters were injured, with a further 118 police officers reporting injuries, and 70 activists were detained.
Government officials have yet to offer concrete answers while opposition leaders criticize the clash and demand accountability.
