Ahead of its second major protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has intensified its campaign over examination controversies, student mental health, and demands for accountability from the central government. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has appealed directly to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to announce ₹1 crore financial assistance for the families of students who allegedly died by suicide amid examination-related stress and uncertainty. The organisation has also renewed its demand for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, arguing that ministerial accountability is necessary in light of ongoing examination controversies.

The Delhi High Court has reserved its order in Telegram's challenge against temporary restrictions imposed by the Centre ahead of the NEET-UG re-examination. During the hearing, the government made a strong claim, describing Telegram as a potential "new dark web" and alleging that the platform was being used to circulate fake or leaked question papers and coordinate exam fraud. The Centre argued that the restrictions were necessary to protect the integrity of the NEET re-test, which will be taken by over 22 lakh students. Telegram, meanwhile, has approached the Delhi High Court seeking relief from the restrictions.
