NEET bride protests exam leak, demands Pradhan's exit

Pradhan has faced sustained calls to step down since the Central Bureau of Investigation began probing the leak last month. The minister has denied any wrongdoing and said the government would introduce fast-track courts to handle exam malpractice cases. Opposition MPs have rejected that proposal, questioning why the government has not yet presented evidence in the existing cases.

The bridal protester said the government had lost the moral authority to run the education system. "If the minister cannot protect a single exam, how can he protect the future of 2.4 million students?" she asked. Similar demands for Pradhan's resignation have been made by Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, both of whom were detained during related protests this week.

Authorities have not responded to the latest protest. The student groups plan to continue their demonstration through the weekend, with a larger rally scheduled for Monday.
