Supporters of India's Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) celebrate following the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, after days of protests demanding he step down over the alleged NEET examination paper leak scandal on July 25, 2026 in New Delhi, India. A mix of protesters gathered in New Delhi on Monday as discontent bubbled over myriad issues, and as Sonam Wangchuk, an activist who was fasting in protest, was forcibly taken to hospital on Sunday. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi was detained on Tuesday among others, as the movement continues well into the week.
