Party Calls on Police to Ensure Unhindered Access to Protest Site Amid Demonstrations Over Examination Issues
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has accused the Delhi Police of unlawfully detaining, intimidating, and preventing protesters from reaching Jantar Mantar during demonstrations linked to alleged examination irregularities and the NEET-UG 2026 controversy.
In a statement issued on July 25, 2026, the party appealed to the Delhi Police Commissioner to direct all police personnel to cease actions that it alleges are restricting peaceful protesters and disrupting the delivery of food and essential supplies to the protest site.
The allegations reflect the party's claims. At the time of publication, no response from the Delhi Police addressing these specific allegations had been included in the report.
CJP Alleges Protesters Were Prevented From Reaching Jantar Mantar
According to the CJP, police personnel allegedly:
- Detained protesters before they reached Jantar Mantar.
- Intimidated individuals attempting to participate in the demonstration.
- Prevented citizens from accessing the designated protest venue.
- Obstructed the supply of food and other essential items to protesters.
The party argued that these actions created what it described as an "atmosphere of fear and siege" around the protest location.
Appeal to the Delhi Police Commissioner
In its statement, the CJP urged the Delhi Police Commissioner to issue directions instructing officers to:
- Cease allegedly unlawful detentions of protesters.
- Refrain from intimidating participants.
- Allow peaceful access to Jantar Mantar.
- Ensure that food, water, medicines, and other essential supplies can reach the protest site without obstruction.
The party maintained that Jantar Mantar is a designated venue for public demonstrations and should remain accessible to citizens exercising their right to peaceful protest.
Protests Linked to Examination Issues
The demonstrations at Jantar Mantar have focused on demands relating to:
- Alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak
- Alleged irregularities in the CBSE on-screen evaluation process
- Broader reforms to India's public examination system
- Calls for accountability within the education administration
The protests have attracted students, political workers, and civil society participants.
Investigation and Official Position
The developments come amid ongoing public debate surrounding examination integrity and governance.
Any assessment of the allegations made by the CJP will depend on official responses, documentary evidence, and any subsequent legal or administrative proceedings.
