Delhi Police deployed tear-gas canisters on Monday as CJP protesters gathered at Vijay Chowk to demonstrate against alleged NEET examination irregularities [1, 2].
The unrest highlights growing public frustration over the integrity of national medical entrance exams and the perceived lack of accountability within the education ministry.
Protesters, led by CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, gathered to demand a full investigation into claims that the NEET examination paper was leaked [1, 2]. The group called for political action against Prime Minister Modi and Education Minister Pradhan regarding the management of the exam process [1, 2].
Security forces responded by sealing the gates of the Parliament building and increasing police presence around the perimeter to prevent demonstrators from advancing [1, 2]. The police action included the use of tear gas to disperse crowds at Vijay Chowk, a central area of the capital near government offices [1, 2].
Additional security measures were reported at the Badarpur border checkpoint to monitor and restrict the movement of people entering the city for the protest [1, 2]. The Parliament building was temporarily closed to the public as a precaution during the height of the unrest [1, 2].
While the protesters sought to bring attention to irregularities in the exam process, the government has not issued a formal response to the specific demands for political action against the Prime Minister or the Education Minister [1, 2].

The escalation of these protests to the gates of Parliament suggests that student and activist grievances over exam leaks have shifted from academic disputes to a broader political challenge. By targeting the Prime Minister and Education Minister directly, the CJP is attempting to frame systemic examination failures as a failure of national governance rather than simple administrative error.
