In his post on X, Salman said students should prioritise their education and security, while expressing confidence that action would be taken against those responsible for the alleged paper leak.

Sonam, it’s done, bro. Don’t extend this. Keep the spirit for another day if there be a need, which I doubt, n eat something. If u want, will send u food from home.”
Meanwhile, the Delhi High Court has agreed to hear on Friday a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking a National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the July 20 ‘Sansad Chalo’ protest called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET paper leak.
The petition seeks the transfer of all FIRs registered by the Delhi Police in connection with the violence during the protest to a specialised investigating agency and action against those allegedly involved in the violence.
According to the petition, protests over the alleged NEET paper leak began at Jantar Mantar on June 6, before culminating in the ‘Sansad Chalo’ march on July 20.
The petitioner has alleged that the protest turned violent, resulting in stone-pelting, injuries to police personnel, attacks on journalists, damage to public and private property, obstruction of emergency services, and attempts to move towards Parliament House. (ANI)
