In a powerful display of dissent, thousands of young supporters of India's 'Cockroach' Movement marched on Delhi's streets, defying Prime Minister Narendra Modi's warnings, to protest the government's handling of a major exam leak.

At the heart of the protest lies the anger over the leaked medical school entrance exam, an incident that not only compromised the futures of millions but also led to tragic suicides, putting immense pressure on Modi's administration in his third term.

Despite the government's promises of re-examinations and arresting 13 individuals linked to the scandal, protesters vow to continue their fight against educational corruption, buoyed by public figures like activist Sonam Wangchuk and opposition leaders, who continue to challenge the political status quo.
