India's Cockroach Movement Halts Delhi Marches After Police Crackdown Wounds 150

The Cockroach Janta Party suspended street marches in New Delhi on July 21, 2026, after police fired tear gas and beat protesters with batons during a July 20 march on Parliament, wounding at least 150. Founder Abhijeet Dipke said the movement would not march again because "the police will hurt the youth again." The youth-led movement demands Education Minister Pradhan's resignation over an exam paper leak affecting 2.2 million students.
