The NEET paper leak controversy has intensified into a major political confrontation. Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other Opposition leaders staged a protest near the Prime Minister's residence, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation and a debate in Parliament. Police later detained several leaders as the standoff escalated. The BJP claimed it had already agreed to a discussion, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the paper leak as a "grave sin" and vowed strict action against those responsible. The row also disrupted Parliament, with the Opposition forcing repeated adjournments over the issue.
