India's 'Cockroach' youth movement protests exam leaks and demands Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation
Thousands of protesters affiliated with the Cockroach Janta Party have been demonstrating in New Delhi for over a month, demanding the sacking of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged question paper leaks in competitive exams including NEET. Police used baton charges and tear gas against protesters, resulting in injuries to both demonstrators and security personnel. Opposition leaders including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra joined the demonstrations and were forcibly removed from a gathering outside Prime Minister Modi's residence.
