- The NEET paper leak controversy in West Bengal escalated into violent student protests led by the Cockroach Janta Party, prompting a strong counter-response from the Bharatiya Janata Party.
- BJP organized Tiranga Yatras (flag marches) across the state, including twin rallies in Kolkata, to protest the violence and accuse opposition parties of being anti-national.
- Meanwhile, Kolkata police arrested two additional individuals in connection with the violence during CJP-led protests, bringing the total number of detainees higher.
- The Cockroach Janta Party appealed to Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari for the release of arrested members while continuing to demand accountability for the alleged NEET exam irregularities.
- The situation represents a broader political confrontation between BJP and the opposition over student grievances, with both sides mobilizing supporters and framing the issue through contrasting narratives—BJP emphasizing patriotism and law-and-order, while CJP positions itself as championing student rights and demanding justice for alleged exam fraud.
- The protests and counter-protests have intensified political tensions in West Bengal, with no immediate resolution in sight as the core issue of the NEET paper leak remains unresolved at the investigative level.
