Student protests over alleged exam paper leaks in India have intensified after a police crackdown in New Delhi.
Demonstrators are demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, while some are even calling on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to step down.
What began as a campaign against exam fraud has expanded into a broader movement highlighting concerns over corruption, unemployment and accountability.
Despite government promises of action, protesters say their demands remain unmet and vow to continue demonstrating.
