The NEET paper leak controversy takes another dramatic turn as the Centre replaces Higher Education Secretary Vineet Joshi with Naresh Pal Gangwar in a major bureaucratic reshuffle amid growing public anger. The move comes alongside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of fast-track courts for paper leak cases and stricter action against those responsible. Meanwhile, social activist Sonam Wangchuk ends his 26-day hunger strike after meeting Union Ministers JP Nadda and Dr. Jitendra Singh. However, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) says its protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar will continue until Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. CJP leader Dipke reiterates that the movement remains peaceful and announces fresh talks with the Centre.
