CJP Parliament March: Despite the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation ordering the closure of Rajiv Chowk station, a large group of CJP protesters managed to gather inside the premises. The protestors are demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET UG 2026 paper leak row. The sudden gathering caused immediate security concerns, prompting the police and metro authorities to step in to manage the crowd. Additionally, mobile internet has been reportedly shut in parts of central Delhi as a precautionary measure against the agitation.

At Patel Chowk station, security personnel used mild force to disperse people who were on their way to the CJP's protest site at Jantar Mantar. The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) earlier announced that several metro stations in Central Delhi—including Rajiv Chowk, Seva Teerth, Udyog Bhawan and Central Secretariat—have been closed. Traffic on various routes in the New Delhi area has also been diverted. 

Heavy security checks on the Noida-Delhi route, triggered traffic jam along the area.

CJP spokesperson Saurabh Das is being taken to the DCP's office. "We are in talks," Das said, adding that talks are ongoing with officials as activists attempt to march towards Parliament. 

Hundreds of jammers have been installed at Jantar Mantar to block the internet. This is the first time the police have used such a large number of jammers to handle a protest.

During  the early hours of Monday, Cockroach Janata Party's agitators gathered at Jantar Mantar for Parliament March, police officials lathi charged them. This comes after the cops issued an advisory saying that no permission has been sought or granted for any proposed march to Parliament by the CJP, clarifying that strict action will be taken against anyone violating orders. 

CJP Protest

The protest comes days after the youth-led party founded by Abhijeet Dipke has been demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradesh over the alleged irregularities linked to the NEET UG 2026 paper leak. Scientist Activist Sonam Wangchuk have been on a hunger strike for over 20 days and was shifted to the Safdarjung hospital by the New Delhi police on Sunday.

In a handwritten letter shared from what he referred to as his "illegal detention" at Delhi's Safdarjung Hospital, Wangchuk stated his first condition is if the government takes accountability of the alleged "failures" in the education system - especially the recent NEET question paper leaks. His second condition is if political leaders assure him that the paper leak issue would be raised in the Parliament.
