India's Cockroach movement supporters gather to attempt a march to Parliament

Thousands from the youth-led "Cockroach" movement marched toward Parliament in New Delhi despite police barring the route and using batons at barricades.
The protests were driven by repeated exam-paper leaks, a nearly three-week hunger strike by Sonam Wangchuk, and demands for the education minister’s resignation and systemic exam reforms.
The satirical "cockroach" label—born from a Supreme Court remark—has drawn students, families, celebrities and opposition support, marking a rare public challenge to Modi’s government.
