Did NEET controversy and exam pressure force students to commit suicide? Are youth paying the price of paper leaks and alleged failures of the system with their lives? Will the government take action on the demand for compensation of Rs 1 crore to the families of NEET victims? Will students be able to regain confidence without reform and accountability in the competitive examination system?
Abhijeet Dipke Open Letter To PM Modi: India’s biggest medical entrance exam ‘NEET’ (NEET UG) has now become not just a competition but a scary mental maze for the students. Paper leak controversies, frequent uncertainties and the deadly pressure of re-tests have thrown the future of the country into darkness. Amidst this serious crisis, ‘Cockroach Janata Party’ (CJP) founder Abhijit Dipke has written a very emotional and warning open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The letter has created a new storm in the political and educational circles of the country, demanding a compensation of ₹1 crore for the victims’ families.
Horrible death toll: 11 students died, the system became a mute spectator
The revelations made by Abhijeet Dipke in his letter are enough to send shivers down the spine of any sensitive person. According to the letter, in recent weeks, due to the immense stress of the NEET exam, 11 innocent students across the country have been forced to take suicidal steps. The most shocking thing is that out of these 11 deaths, 5 have occurred just within the last 48 hours. As the date of re-examination is approaching, the shadow of depression looming over the youth is deepening. Dipke wrote that in the last two months, he has personally met the families of the victims whose smiling children were sacrificed at the altar of this corrupt and failed system.
Maze of financial ruin: Loan taken for dreams now becomes a noose.
Another most painful aspect of this tragedy is that the students who lost their lives were not just the apple of their parents’ eyes, but also the financial hopes of their entire families. The middle class and poor families of India had put their hard-earned money at stake to fulfill the dream of their children becoming doctors. Many families had taken ‘education loans’ at huge interest rates. Now, when their children’s dreams were brutally shattered and they died due to the failure of the system and paper leak, these families are completely devastated emotionally. They are now standing at the brink of bank debt and ruin, from where they cannot find any way out.

Echo of Education Minister’s resignation: Demand for compensation of ₹ 1 crore and fixing accountability
Through this letter, Abhijeet Dipke has directly attacked the Central Government and appealed to Prime Minister Modi to immediately intervene in this national disaster. He has put forward these main demands before the government:
- Financial assistance of ₹1 crore: A compensation of ₹1 crore should be given immediately to each victim family so that they can be free from the debt trap.
- Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation: There have been demands for the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan due to mismanagement of the examination system and repeated paper leak controversies.
- Strict accountability and reforms: The public and students have completely lost faith in the education system of the country, hence strictest action should be taken against those responsible for this failure.
Maha-Andolan at Jantar Mantar on 20th June: Just a day before the exams, the battle is going on
This whole matter is no longer going to be limited to just paper tricks. Deepke has made a very big announcement saying that the aggrieved students and their supporters from across the country are going to gather for a huge protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi from June 20 for their demands.
What is the main objective of the movement?
The main objective of this movement is to protect the rights of students and to restore the lost confidence in the competitive examinations of the country. The suspense has deepened regarding this because the re-test of NEET UG 2026 is going to be held at the designated examination centers on the very next day, i.e. on June 21. Now it remains to be seen whether this spark that flares up at Jantar Mantar will be able to extinguish this big fire of the examination system or the government will be forced to take a big decision.
