How the NEET UG 2026 paper leak snowballed into Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned on July 25, ending a protest over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak.
The crisis began with a tutor's comparison of a leaked PDF with the actual exam paper.
Weeks of demonstrations by the Cockroach Janta Party grew into a significant youth-led movement.
Prime Minister Modi announced examination reforms, but protesters demanded ministerial accountability.
The resignation followed widespread protests and a CBI investigation into the leak.
