Indian Police Crack Down on Youth-Led March Over Exam Paper Leaks

Thousands of Cockroach Janta Party demonstrators marched from Jantar Mantar to demand the resignation of the education minister. The movement gained momentum following allegations of widespread university exam paper leaks and rising youth unemployment. Activist Sonam Wangchuk helped galvanize Gen Z supporters against the government through a hunger strike that has drawn national attention. Security forces fired tear gas and used physical force to disperse the crowds as they approached government buildings. The Cockroach Janta Party reported that police detained the movement's founder during the confrontation. Despite the police crackdown in New Delhi, protesters continued to call for accountability regarding the integrity of the national examination system.
