Hundreds of Congress workers marched towards the BJP state headquarters in Jaipur on Thursday to protest against alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG medical entrance exam.

Carrying posters and placards, the protesters led by Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee chief Govind Singh Dotasra demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Police used water cannons near Shaheed Smarak after several Congress workers climbed barricades and attempted to cross over towards the BJP headquarters.

Some party workers suffered minor injuries during the protest and were taken to SMS Hospital, a party spokesperson said.

The Congress claimed that the future of nearly 22 lakh students had been affected due to the alleged leak.

The NEET (UG) 2026 examination for admission to undergraduate medical courses, held on May 3, was cancelled two days later amid allegations of paper leak

After Sushil Prajapati, a rape accused in Ghaziabad, was released on bail on May 17, supporters allegedly took out a celebratory roadshow outside Dasna Jail.

According to police, supporters showered flowers on him, carried him on their shoulders from the jail premises to the main road, and a convoy of vehicles then accompanied him towards Muradnagar.

Based on videos received by police, an FIR was registered against Prajapati and 12 unidentified persons.

The complaint, filed by Sub-Inspector Pradeep Kumar, alleged that the group obstructed the road and later drove recklessly, causing inconvenience and risk to the public.

DCP (Rural) Surendra Nath Tiwari said the case has been registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Section 281 (rash driving) and Section 285 (danger or obstruction in a public way).

Prajapati had been in jail for 8 months in connection with a rape case. A complaint was filed on August 8, 2025, and he was arrested on August 11, 2025, police said.

At Shanti Van, they passed under amaltas trees in full bloom, as the brief May-June bloom turned the morning yellow.

Also known as the Indian laburnum or Indian shower tree, amaltas flowers briefly across the capital every summer.
