Delhi student protests over NIT exam leak trigger police action, court probe

Students protesting the alleged NIT exam paper leak have been receiving large amounts of food and water delivered by unknown sources, with volunteers handing out meals at the Delhi Jantar Mantar site.

The Delhi High Court has accepted a petition seeking a National Investigation Agency probe into alleged foreign links behind the CJ (CJP) protest, scheduling a hearing for the next day.

Police intercepted Rahul Gandhi’s bus as it attempted to travel to the Gandhi memorial in Delhi, sparking additional tension amid the ongoing demonstrations.

Political commentators note that the protests have become a focal point for broader political maneuvering, including speculation about a Tamil Nadu leader’s planned visit to Delhi to engage with protestors and address the fallout.
