Police in New Delhi used batons to disperse students during what protesters described as a peaceful demonstration over the alleged entrance exam paper leak. Videos circulating on social media appeared to show officers striking demonstrators as crowds attempted to march toward Parliament. Some clips also seemed to show police personnel throwing stones toward protesters, while individuals in civilian clothing were seen alongside officers allegedly assaulting students.
The authenticity and full context of the videos have not been independently verified. Authorities have not publicly responded to the specific allegations involving stone-throwing or the presence of unidentified civilians. The protest drew thousands of students demanding accountability and the resignation of the education minister, accusing the government of failing to protect the integrity of the country's examination system.
