- The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) removed its spokesperson Vijeta Dahiya from the post after a viral video showed her at a burger outlet while police were cracking down on protesters at Jantar Mantar.
- The party called her conduct insensitive and said it was against the movement's values, which are focused on demanding the education minister's resignation over the NEET paper leak and exam irregularities.
- Dahiya responded on Instagram, saying she had been active in the movement for about a month and a half, questioning why eating a burger became such a big issue, though she also wrote in the caption that she did not eat the burger because it contained maida and trans fat.
- The timing or circumstances of the viral video could not be independently confirmed, and Dahiya has faced criticism over past social media remarks.
