Video of Sunita Williams at Jantar Mantar Protest Is Misattributed, Originates from Kerala Event
A viral video purportedly showing astronaut Sunita Williams at Delhi's Jantar Mantar protest supporting Sonam Wangchuk and the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) is false. Fact-checks reveal the footage is from the Kerala Literature Festival in January 2026, unrelated to the ongoing protest demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. No credible reports confirm Williams' presence at the Delhi protest site.
