The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) said it will launch new protests in Delhi if the government fails to withdraw FIRs against NEET paper-leak protesters [1].

The standoff centers on the legal status of demonstrators who faced charges during previous protests. If the government does not provide a written guarantee against retaliatory action, the CJP said it will return to the streets to demand the release of all detainees [1], [2].

Spokesperson Saurav Das said the party is seeking a formal commitment that no further action will be taken against those involved in the demonstrations [1]. This demand follows commitments made on July 25, 2026 [2]. According to the CJP, the lack of a written assurance remains a threat of retaliation against the protesters [1].

There are conflicting reports regarding the government's progress. Some reports indicate that government representatives shared draft notifications to withdraw FIRs and shield protesters [2]. However, Delhi Police said they will proceed with withdrawing cases only after receiving official guidelines and are still awaiting an official nod [3].

The government said a written guarantee would be provided by the following Tuesday after the July 25 commitments [3]. The CJP continues to press for this documentation to ensure the safety of its members, and other activists [1].

The dispute highlights the tension between the executive's verbal promises and the police department's requirement for formal administrative orders before clearing criminal records [3].

“CJP warned it will launch new protests in Delhi if the government fails to withdraw FIRs”

This conflict illustrates a bureaucratic gap between political negotiations and law enforcement execution. While the government may seek to de-escalate tensions through draft notifications, the Delhi Police's refusal to act without a formal 'nod' creates a window of uncertainty that the CJP is leveraging to demand more concrete, legally binding protections for protesters.
