Violent Protests Over NEET Paper Leak in Delhi Raise Political and Accountability QuestionsPreviousNext

Protests erupted in Delhi over an alleged NEET exam paper leak, leading to violent clashes between students and police involving stone-pelting, tear gas, and lathi-charge. Demonstrators demanded accountability and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The government engaged in talks with protest representatives amid rising political involvement, including Rahul Gandhi's intervention. While students emphasize demands for fair exams and reforms, debates continue over whether the movement reflects genuine youth anger or political maneuvering, with concerns about law and order escalating.
