- The protests, sparked by NEET exam paper leaks, ended on July 25 after the government accepted key demands, including the education minister's resignation, and assured no legal action against protesters.
- However, the CJP now warns it will resume protests unless all FIRs against protesters are withdrawn, alleging that students, particularly in Bihar, are still being detained.
- The report also notes criticism of CJP leaders after videos of them celebrating the minister's resignation surfaced online.
