Through the Reader lens — A video has surfaced showing Hindu nationalist thinker T.G. Mohandas saying he would shoot student protesters at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar over irregularities in the NEET exams — a statement framing violence against demonstrators as justifiable.

Aliyar to lodge formal complaints with Kerala state authorities, seeking legal action against Mohandas. Coverage spans national and Kerala regional outlets, highlighting both the content of the video and the political response. The controversy adds a volatile, personality-driven dimension to an already sensitive debate over NEET exam fairness. What to watch next: how Kerala police respond to the complaints, whether Mohandas faces formal legal proceedings or retracting statements, and how student protest organizers frame the exchange amid ongoing pressure on the NEET process.
