The day was dominated by the Congress party's surprise protest outside Prime Minister Modi's residence, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET paper leak and the police crackdown on CJP protesters. Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Akhilesh Yadav were detained by Delhi Police, with images of Gandhi being dragged away and bleeding from the nose circulating widely. The protest overshadowed other developments, including the Delhi High Court's order to transfer activist Sonam Wangchuk to Medanta Hospital, the ongoing CJP demonstrations at Jantar Mantar, and the Sikkim tunnel collapse that killed eight workers. Parliament remained adjourned for a second day amid the uproar. By evening, the detained leaders were released, and Education Minister Pradhan accused the Congress of exploiting students.
