Delhi witnessed an unusual protest as thousands of members of the Cockroach Janata Party gathered near Parliament. The demonstration demanded the resignation of the Union Education Minister over the alleged NEET paper leak. The unique protest theme quickly grabbed public attention.

Police tightened security across the national capital from early morning. Heavy barricades were placed around Parliament and other sensitive locations. Entry into several high security areas was restricted to prevent protesters from reaching Parliament.

As the crowd grew protesters tried to march towards Parliament. Police stopped them at several points leading to tense moments. Many protesters refused to turn back forcing security personnel to block their movement and disperse the gathering.

The protest disrupted traffic in several parts of Delhi as roads were closed and security checks were increased. Commuters faced delays while police monitored the situation across the city.

Police said the restrictions were imposed to maintain law and order and protect public safety. Protest organizers said they would continue their campaign until action was taken over the NEET paper leak issue.

The unusual protest soon became a major talking point on social media. Photos and videos of people dressed as cockroaches spread widely drawing attention to the demonstration and its message.

Security remained on high alert throughout the day as authorities continued to monitor the situation around Parliament.
