Protests Erupt Over Exam Leaks, Government Actions at Jantar Mantar
Protests related to exam leaks and government actions occurred at Jantar Mantar and in Parliament. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed the Delhi High Court that videography at the Jantar Mantar protest site was not for snooping. Separately, actor Kangana Ranaut challenged the CJP, stating that an elected government has the right to make decisions and should not be subjected to 'arm-twisting'. Opposition leader Mallikarjun Kharge raised concerns in Parliament about alleged attempts to harm students during protests. Police reportedly used tear gas during a march towards Parliament.
