Hundreds of young students gathered in New Delhi on Saturday for the first street protest organised by the satirical "Cockroach People's Party" over alleged irregularities in recent major examinations.
Protesters, some in paper cockroach masks – a reference to reported remarks by India's top judge – called for the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the irregularities, including question paper leaks and technical glitches.
"We want accountability from the government," 16-year-old Utkarsh Raj, who hopes to pursue a medical career, told AFP.
"How is it that exam papers get leaked in this country? How is this right?"
