The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has strongly condemned the alleged lathicharge on SSC aspirants protesting at Jantar Mantar in Delhi over recent exam irregularities. Protesters, gathered to demand accountability for paper leaks, exam cancellations, and widespread mismanagement in the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) recruitment process, said they were demonstrating peacefully when police action was taken.

NSUI national president Varun Choudhary visited the protest site, expressing solidarity with the injured students.

Choudhary said, “What happened today is not just police brutality — it is the Modi government's desperation to silence the youth demanding justice. Lakhs of students prepare for years, only to face paper leaks, cancelled exams and mismanagement."

Earlier, NSUI submitted a memorandum to the SSC highlighting students’ grievances such as unexplained cancellation of exams such as SSC Selection Post Phase 13; technical failures resulting in system crashes and wrongly allotted exam centres; reports of students being kept at centres till late nights without basic facilities, sometimes facing mistreatment when raising concerns; and a lack of transparency in both exam results and grievance redressal mechanisms.

The student body has demanded a high-level enquiry into SSC mismanagement and vendor accountability, immediate reforms in exam conduct, evaluation, and transparency, action against those responsible for manhandling students.
