Indian man claims he spent Rs 1 lakh to attend CJP protest in Delhi
A man claiming to have flown from Australia said he spent nearly Rs 1 lakh to join the CJP's protest in Delhi. His video went viral because he said he had no personal link to NEET and yet came in solidarity.
The Cockroach Janta Party's protest has drawn students, parents and supporters from across India. But one protester claims he came from much farther away.
In a viral video, the man said he flew from Australia to Delhi, spending nearly Rs 1 lakh just to attend the demonstration.
As thousands gathered in Delhi for the CJP's ‘Chalo Sansad’ march against the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, this one protester stood out from the crowd.
Shared by content creator Sarthak Goswami on Instagram, the video shows the man saying he flew from Australia to India solely to participate in the protest. To support his claim, he even flashes what appears to be his Australian identity card before speaking about why he made the trip.
Surprised by his story, Goswami asks him what compelled him to spend so much money just to attend a demonstration.
The protester's answer is brief but striking.
"Brother, Rs 1 lakh ka ticket lekar aaya hoon yahan par sirf protest join karne ke liye (Brother, I spent nearly Rs 1 lakh on flight tickets just to join this protest).”
The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Goswami asks whether he had personally appeared for the NEET examination or any other competitive test.
The man says he has no direct connection to the exam. Having completed a B.Tech degree, he explains that he chose to travel because he believes the issue extends beyond a single examination.

He goes on to criticise the government's handling of the agitation, pointing to the ongoing hunger strike and what he sees as a lack of dialogue with protesters.
"Nahi sir, mera B.Tech tha. Mera NEET se koi matlab nahi hai. Sirf ye sarkar bahut zyada tanashahi kar rahi hai is time. Kuch nahi sun rahi hai. Atharah din se koi banda bhook hartal par baitha hua hai. Baat karne ko raazi nahi hain ye log (No sir, I completed a B.Tech. I have nothing to do with NEET. I feel the government is behaving in an authoritarian manner. It is not listening to anyone. A person has been on a hunger strike for 18 days, yet they are not even willing to hold a conversation).”
The demonstrations are part of a wider campaign led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a satirical movement founded by Abhijeet Dipke, demanding accountability over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak.
The movement gathered momentum after activist Sonam Wangchuk began an indefinite hunger strike on June 28, seeking the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the controversy. Since then, the protest has drawn students, professionals and supporters from across India and, if this protester's claim is accurate, even from thousands of kilometres away.
