Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has voiced support for students protesting in Delhi against police brutality and lack of accountability in the NEET and other paper leaks scandal. He criticized the central government for using force against students demanding justice over the NEET paper-leak issue. Reddy emphasized the need to end police brutality and ensure accountability in the examination system.
Revanth Reddy expressed solidarity with the students, emphasizing the importance of protecting the credibility of national-level exams. He condemned the cancellation of NEET-UG 2026 due to the paper leak, highlighting the distress caused to students and parents nationwide. The Chief Minister called for stringent punishment for those involved in paper leaks, regardless of their influence.
Reports from the national capital revealed security forces using tear gas and batons to disperse protesters marching towards Parliament. The protesters, including supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), gathered to raise concerns about NEET irregularities and demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The clash led to minor injuries among both protesters and police personnel as barricades were breached during the march.
