Sonam Wangchuk ended his 26-day hunger strike after receiving assurances from the Centre on key demands linked to the NEET paper leak protests. The political controversy has quickly intensified. Congress MP Imran Masood has accused Wangchuk of striking a "personal deal" with the government and called him "Anna Hazare Part 2." Meanwhile, Mahua Moitra warns Wangchuk not to let the government dilute the movement and questions the reported proposal to send protesters across the country. At the same time, CJP makes it clear that its protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. 

The NEET paper leak controversy takes another dramatic turn as the Centre replaces Higher Education Secretary Vineet Joshi with Naresh Pal Gangwar in a major bureaucratic reshuffle amid growing public anger. The move comes alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of fast-track courts for paper leak cases and stricter action against those responsible. Meanwhile, social activist Sonam Wangchuk ends his 26-day hunger strike after meeting Union Ministers JP Nadda and Dr. Jitendra Singh. However, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) says its protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar will continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. CJP leader Dipke reiterates that the movement remains peaceful and announces fresh talks with the Centre.
