Massive Protests Erupt in Mumbai

Shivaji Park in Mumbai witnessed a significant turnout as thousands gathered to voice their concerns regarding the Indian education system, particularly following the NEET exam paper leak incident. While students in Delhi continue their peaceful demonstrations at Jantar Mantar, the youth in Mumbai joined forces for the same cause. With heightened security and police presence, participants marched through the streets, united for a common purpose. Notably, actor Imran Khan participated in the protest at Shivaji Park, where a video of him walking alongside fellow demonstrators quickly gained traction online, earning him praise for his support.
