Mumbai influencer seeks probe into minors at CJP NEET protest

Mumbai influencer seeks probe into minors at CJP NEET protest
Mumbai 'influencer' files complaint against Dipke, others, over presence of minors at CJP protest · telegraphindia.com

A man named Faizan Ansari from Mumbai went to the police in Indore to complain about something he saw.

He said that young boys and girls — kids who are not old enough to be adults — were at a big protest in New Delhi.

A protest is when people gather together to show they are upset about something.

These kids were at a protest about an important medical exam called NEET, because people worried that the exam question paper was leaked before the test.

Mr. Ansari wants the police to check whether the people who organized the protest asked the kids to come or helped them take part.

He also asked the police to look at photos, videos, and social media posts from the protest.

If the police find that a law was broken, he wants a formal police case, called an FIR, to be opened against the protest leaders.

The police say they have received the complaint and are looking into it.
