Lawyers Defend Detained CJP Student Protesters

On July 20, lawyers in Delhi and Mumbai stepped in to help protesters who were detained during demonstrations against the NEET paper leak.

The protesters, led by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), were allegedly treated harshly by the police.

Lawyers like Garima K and Gaurav Pachauri argued that the detentions were unlawful and violated the protesters' rights.

They provided free legal aid and managed to get some protesters released.

In Mumbai, lawyers like Piyush Todkar and Mihir Desai also helped detained students.

The police, however, claimed that the protesters were violent and that the detentions were necessary to maintain order.
