Pakistan connection linked to Jantar Mantar protest

Delhi Police has taken major action regarding the Cockroach Janata Party's protest. 480 social media handles operating from Pakistan were identified and blocked. These handles were spreading fake news and propaganda in a coordinated manner. Delhi Police urges students and youth to be wary of such foreign social media accounts. "Do not rely on rumors and misleading information; seek information only from official sources. Do not share any suspicious or inflammatory posts without verification," the police said.

Internet services suspended at Jantar Mantar

The Union Home Ministry suspended mobile internet services within a 1.5-kilometer radius of Jantar Mantar until 12 midnight on July 23rd. The new order, issued under the provisions of the Telecommunications Act, 2023, and the Telecommunications (Temporary Suspension of Services) Rules, 2024, with the approval of the Union Home Secretary, extended the suspension until Thursday midnight. The order stated that this step was taken to ensure public safety and avert any public emergency. The ministry has issued five such orders suspending mobile internet services in this area since July 17th.

Decision to set up fast track courts

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Thursday (July 23, 2026) reiterated its demand for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement regarding action in paper leak cases did not address the issue of accountability. Amid ongoing protests by youth over the NEET paper leak, PM Modi said that the government has decided to set up fast-track courts to ensure swift and stringent punishment to those involved in the paper leak cases.

 

CJP's reaction on fast-track court

CJP's Ashutosh Ranka welcomed the Prime Minister's response, but said it came after nearly a month and a half of protests and did not answer the main question behind the repeated question paper leaks. Ranka said, "It's good that after a month and a half of protests, the Prime Minister has finally taken notice. Perhaps his foreign tour is over, and he's returned to India, which is a good thing."
