The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday warned that it would resume nationwide protests if the BJP-led Centre fails to provide a written copy of the commitments made under the July 25 agreement that brought its 49-day agitation over the NEET paper leak to an end.
Addressing a joint press conference with Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate Kapil Sibal, CJP leaders alleged that students were being arrested, volunteers harassed, and fresh cases registered despite assurances that all existing FIRs would be withdrawn and no new cases filed.
CJP spokesperson Saurav Das said the organisation would restart its agitation if the Centre did not share the written commitments by Tuesday. He also reiterated the Centre’s reported promise to provide ‘maximum possible compensation’ to the families of NEET paper leak-related suicide victims and to consider the party’s five-point examination reform charter.
Earlier in the day, CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka alleged on X that the government had breached its assurance of taking no punitive action against protesters. He claimed that hundreds of students faced arrest in Bihar and West Bengal, while volunteers in Delhi and other states faced surveillance and detention.

The development comes days after the CJP suspended its agitation following three rounds of talks with Union Ministers JP Nadda and Jitendra Singh.
According to the party, the agreement included withdrawal of FIRs, protection from further legal action for protesters, compensation for victims’ families, and consideration of examination reforms.
CJP member Ratna Singh alleged that police action had intensified across states, claiming multiple FIRs followed in Assam, while Kolkata police arrested 11 people and Bihar authorities detained 86 people.
Legal Support and New Platform
The organisation launched ‘Saakshi’, an online platform where protesters can upload videos and photographs documenting alleged police action.
Kapil Sibal announced legal support for affected protesters, pledging Rs 1 crore to establish a nationwide legal assistance platform. He also alleged that Delhi Police was using facial recognition technology to identify protesters, raising concerns over surveillance and possible misuse of the technology.
