Security was significantly tightened across central Delhi as supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) gathered at Jantar Mantar ahead of the party's proposed 'Chalo Sansad' march to Parliament during the opening day of the Monsoon Session.

Delhi Police stated that the party had not obtained the required permission for the march and reminded the public that prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita remain in force in the New Delhi district, restricting unlawful assemblies and rallies near Parliament House.

Despite the restrictions, large numbers of supporters assembled at the protest site after CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke called for a night-long vigil over alleged irregularities and paper leaks in the NEET-UG 2026 examination.Dipke continued his indefinite hunger strike, which entered its third day, and maintained that the march would proceed.

Sonam Wangchuk, who had earlier been shifted to Safdarjung Hospital following a medical examination, announced that he would end his hunger strike only if the government accepted accountability for the education crisis or political leaders assured him that the matter would be taken up in Parliament.His wife also appealed to political leaders to meet him at the hospital to provide such an assurance.

Delhi Police clarified that Wangchuk's hospitalisation followed a routine court-directed medical examination and alleged that some protesters had obstructed the process.

Several Opposition leaders, including Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia, extended support to the proposed march and demanded accountability over the alleged examination irregularities.

The developments coincided with the commencement of Parliament's Monsoon Session, during which several important Bills are expected to be introduced.
