Clashes Erupt During CJP Protest March Near Indian Parliament in New Delhi
On July 20, thousands of protesters from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) marched towards the Indian Parliament in New Delhi demanding accountability over examination irregularities, including the NEET paper leak. The protest escalated into clashes as demonstrators attempted to breach police barricades, leading to police using tear gas and lathi charges to disperse crowds. Over 118 police personnel and around 60 protesters were injured, with approximately 70 protesters detained. Authorities imposed prohibitory orders and restricted metro access amid heightened security. Both police and protesters accused each other of violence, while talks between CJP leaders and government officials took place amid ongoing tensions.
