Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, arrived in Delhi on June 6, 2026, to lead a protest at Jantar Mantar [1].
The demonstration marks a significant escalation in public pressure regarding the NEET exam paper-leak scandal. By mobilizing a large digital following into a physical protest, Dipke is attempting to force a high-level government accountability measure.
Dipke is demanding the resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan [2]. The protest focuses on the controversy surrounding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test, where allegations of leaked papers have sparked widespread outrage among students and parents.
To maintain order, Dipke urged his supporters to keep the gathering peaceful. He said followers should "bring a book and the national flag" [3]. He also said protesters should "offer flowers to police personnel as a gesture of compassion and gratitude" [3].
Authorities in Delhi granted police permission for the event, though security remained beefed up around the Jantar Mantar public park [4]. The Cockroach Janta Party has leveraged a massive social media presence to organize the event, boasting 22 million Instagram followers [5].
"We demand the resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan," Dipke said [2].
The founder's arrival in the capital follows a wave of online activism. The movement seeks to highlight the impact of the exam leaks on the academic futures of millions of candidates across the country.

This event illustrates the growing trend of 'digital-first' political movements in India, where massive social media followings are converted into street-level political pressure. The focus on the NEET paper-leak controversy highlights a critical intersection of educational integrity and government accountability, suggesting that administrative failures in national examinations can trigger widespread civic unrest.
