Tens of thousands of protesters gathered at Jantar Mantar as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) marched towards Parliament, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET controversy. The protest saw clashes with police, including tear gas and a mild lathi charge, before CJP leaders held talks with BJP President JP Nadda. Despite the meeting, protesters refused to end their agitation, while Sonam Wangchuk announced he would continue his fast, alleging police brutality against peaceful demonstrators.
