Arvind Kejriwal seeks FIR and detention details from Delhi Police after the Jantar Mantar protest over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written to New Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Sachin Sharma, seeking complete details of the FIRs registered and individuals detained following the CJP protest held at Jantar Mantar. The protest, linked to the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, witnessed heavy police action after violence reportedly broke out during a march towards Parliament.
Kejriwal also visited the Parliament Street Police Station and urged the Delhi Police to make public the names of those booked or taken into custody so that legal assistance could be extended without delay.
Kejriwal Demands Public Disclosure of FIRs
In his letter to the DCP, Arvind Kejriwal stated that he had received information indicating that multiple FIRs had been registered against people who participated in the protest demanding accountability from the Central Government over alleged failures in the education system.
He further claimed that several individuals were reportedly being held in custody even though no FIR had been registered against them.
The AAP leader requested that the police immediately release two separate lists—one containing the names of those against whom FIRs have been registered and another listing all those detained after the protest.
According to Arvind Kejriwal, making these details public would ensure that affected individuals receive timely legal representation.
Delhi Police Registers Five FIRs
The developments come after the Delhi Police registered five FIRs in connection with violence that occurred during Monday’s protest.
According to police, the cases involve allegations of stone-pelting, vandalism, unlawful assembly, and attacks on police personnel. The FIRs have been registered at Parliament Street Police Station and Connaught Place Police Station under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, the Arms Act, 1959, and the Prevention of Damage to Public Property (PDPP) Act.
Police Reviewing Digital and CCTV Evidence
As part of the investigation, Delhi Police are examining more than 250 pieces of digital evidence, including CCTV footage, mobile phone videos, drone recordings and body-camera footage, to identify those allegedly involved in the violence.
Police have also released video footage that they say shows incidents of stone-pelting and damage to police vehicles near Regal Cinema in Connaught Place. Investigators are further examining whether messaging platforms such as WhatsApp or Telegram were used to mobilise participants before the protest.
NEET-UG 2026 Protest Escalated
The protest was organised over allegations surrounding the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. Earlier in the day, a delegation met Union Health Minister JP Nadda to press its demands before demonstrators marched towards Parliament.
The situation later escalated, leading to clashes between protesters and police, following which several people were detained and criminal cases were registered. Investigations into the incident remain ongoing.
