NDTV spent an evening at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, where youth-led protests against the NEET-UG 2026 exam leak and unemployment had gathered momentum. Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) led protesters calling for accountability from the government. The demonstrations, which lasted nearly a month, culminated in Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigning, seen as a victory for the protesters. The protest site featured makeshift clinics and kitchens, managed by volunteers and student groups like AISA and PDSU, while Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel maintained order outside.
