Shiv Sena (UBT) Offers Legal Aid to Protesters
In Mumbai, a lot of students and activists were protesting because they want the Education Minister to step down.
They say the NEET exam papers were leaked, which caused some students to feel so upset that they took their own lives.
The police tried to stop the protest because it didn't have permission, and they detained almost 900 people.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) party is helping those who were detained by offering legal support through an email address.
The protesters first tried to gather at Azad Maidan but had to move to Shivaji Park because there were so many police around.
The police have filed reports against the detainees, and investigations are ongoing.
Shiv Sena (UBT) created an email for legal aid to protesters supporting NEET students, Sonam Wangchuk, and Abhijeet Dipke.
Nearly 900 protesters were detained by Mumbai Police for protesting without permission.
Protesters demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged NEET paper leak.
Initial protest planned at Azad Maidan was shifted to Nariman Point due to heavy police deployment.
Mumbai Police registered 12 FIRs against the detainees for violating prohibitory orders.
