CJP Protest: Demands ₹1 Crore Compensation in NEET Deaths, Pradhan's Resignation & Wangchuk's Release - Video

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which has been leading protests over the alleged NEET UG 2026 paper leak, on Monday submitted a memorandum to Union Health Minister JP Nadda, demanding action over the examination controversy. The delegation sought the removal of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, compensation of ₹1 crore for the families of NEET aspirants who allegedly died by suicide following the paper leak, and the release of activist Sonam Wangchuk. The memorandum was submitted after thousands of protesters attempted to march towards Parliament, alleging repeated failures in the conduct of national examinations and demanding accountability for the NEET controversy.

According to the CJP, the alleged NEET UG 2026 paper leak exposed deep flaws in the examination system and reflected wider institutional failures. The protest, which began over NEET-related issues, later expanded to include concerns over other national examinations. Hours before the memorandum was submitted, protesters were stopped near Parliament Street by heavy police barricading, with police using lathicharge and tear gas to disperse the crowd. After meeting the delegation, JP Nadda said discussions were held in a cordial atmosphere and urged protesters to end their agitation while assuring them that their demands would be considered.
