Warning: Mention of suicide. Thousands have gathered again in the Indian capital Delhi a day after a police crackdown on supporters of India's Gen Z-led Cockroach Janta Party. It is demanding an overhaul of India's education system after a medical entrance exam, taken by 2.28 million students, was cancelled following reports that the paper had leaked. A re-test was held weeks later. More than 20 students have since died by suicide, with their families saying they were devastated by the scandal. The movement has made the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan a key demand. Protests saw overwhelming violence, with protesters wounded when police used batons and tear gas on them.
