The hunger strike against Dipke continued for the fifth day, with two protesters, Manish Brahmbhatt and Rahul Pandey, being hospitalised after their health reportedly deteriorated.
Protesters continue hunger strike
One of the protesters, speaking to reporters, said, “I started the hunger strike today. Manish Bhai and Rahul Pandey were taken away by the police this morning because their health had become very critical. Their hunger strike is still continuing, and we have now taken their place here. We also have the same demands because I am also a part of the same protest.”

Another protester said, “Manish Bhai and Rahul Bhai have been on hunger strike since the 5th, and today is the fifth day. Our demand is that the committee formed by Dipke should seek the opinions of all volunteers without excluding anyone. Five people should be selected from each state. This is our demand.”

Protesters demand democratic functioning
Meanwhile, the protest by Brahmbhatt and Pandey comes amid a core committee meeting being held at Dipke’s residence since last week. The protesters are demanding that the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement, function democratically and that those who participated in the agitation be invited to share their suggestions.
Subsequently, protests led by the CJP at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi last month over the alleged NEET paper leak and other examination irregularities reportedly intensified the controversy surrounding the issue.
