We have also launched a website, and when we begin this legal action, we will not only file complaints but also seek the registration of FIRs.

If necessary, we will also approach the courts. When the time comes, we will ensure that those officers who fail to uphold law and order and ensure the safety of the people are sent to jail," he added.Meanwhile, Ashutosh Ranka said the party recognises the "consistent cooperation" of the police."

It was a good meeting. We discussed everything that has happened over the past few days. What happened on the 20th was very unfortunate.

However, we also recognise that there had been consistent cooperation from the Delhi Police," he said."We acknowledged that as well. We hope this marks the beginning of a new chapter.

All our demands have been accepted, including the withdrawal of the FIRs and the assurance that no new FIRs will be filed. All's well that ends well, and we sincerely thank the youth of this country," he added.This comes after the Cockroach Janata Party called off its 36-day agitation following Pradhan's resignation and the government's acceptance of its remaining demands.

The CJP declared that it was withdrawing its agitation after the government agreed to all its remaining demands, including compensation for the families of students who allegedly died by suicide following the NEET paper leak and the withdrawal of FIRs against protesters.The announcement came after the third round of talks between the two sides at the Constitution Club of India, where Union ministers J P Nadda and Jitendra Singh met CJP representatives Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka.Addressing a joint press conference with the CJP leadership, Nadda said the government would provide "honourable compensation," in accordance with the rules, to the families of students who died by suicide following the NEET examination controversy and ensure the withdrawal of all FIRs registered against protesters.
