# Dipke-led protests, health scare, and legal probes > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/dipke-led-student-protests-and-bjp-intimidation > Updated: 2026-08-11T02:42:27.000Z. Sources: 40. Developments: 5. Student protests over alleged NEET paper leaks gathered at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar in late July 2026, with Abhijit (Abhijeet) Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), emerging as the movement’s focal point. The demonstrations, which included a ‘Chalo Sansad’ march on 20 July, forced Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign on 25 July. Dipke has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of threatening his family to force his defection, prompting his parents to hide for sixteen days. He has also demanded the resignations of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging Shah ordered police to use pellet guns and batons against protesters. Dipke claims the BJP is now intimidating venue providers to block CJP meetings. In early August, Dipke was treated in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar for symptoms including low blood pressure, vomiting, and loose motions, following a prior typhoid diagnosis. Concurrently, RTI activist Amit Tiwari filed complaints seeking inquiries into the finances of Dipke’s father and the legal status of the CJP, which he alleges is unregistered. Legal challenges have intensified through complaints from Advocate Rinki Chatterjee Singh, alleging violations of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act following an injury to a minor during police action, and influencer Faizan Ansari, who accused Dipke of assault and improper financing. Meanwhile, Dipke has expressed solidarity with the Anti-NEET Federation in Tamil Nadu, which is conducting a hunger strike to demand a ban on the NEET examination. ## Claims - Abhijeet Dipke demanded Union Home Minister Amit Shah resign.
