Police and Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel remained deployed in large numbers at the protest site to prevent any further escalation

The agitation follows Monday's clashes, which broke out when thousands of CJP supporters and students marched from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, including the NEET-UG paper leak

Ahead of the march, Delhi Police had imposed prohibitory orders in the area and erected multiple barricades to stop protesters from moving towards Parliament

According to reports, police later removed the protest stage and temporary tents at Jantar Mantar. However, protesters returned to the site early Tuesday after the Cockroach Janta Party appealed to supporters to continue the demonstration

CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said the protest would continue until the Union Education Minister stepped down.
