Delhi Police Debunk Rumors of a Security Breach at NTA Office Amid Sansad Chalo March

Police Say No One Forced Their Way Into NTA Office; Only Small Group Met Officials

Delhi Police refuted social‑media claims that protesters broke into the NTA office during the Sansad Chalo protest, stating the site remained calm and orderly.

New Delhi – On Monday, the Delhi Police went out of its way to squash a wave of online posts that suggested a group of protestors had stormed the National Testing Agency (NTA) office in Okhla. The force labelled the allegations as “false and baseless”, insisting that the premises were, in fact, quiet and under control.

According to the police statement, the only visitors to the NTA office were a few aspirants – roughly five to seven – accompanied by their parents. They came simply to raise questions about alleged irregularities in their exam results. “They were allowed to meet NTA officials and voice their concerns,” a senior officer said, adding that no security breach took place.

Security arrangements, the police emphasized, were robust throughout the day. There were no reports of forced entry, barricade breaches, or clashes at the location. The officer further urged the public not to be swayed by unverified posts that flood social media, and to rely on official communications for accurate information.

The clarification came after viral messages claimed that demonstrators had broken into the NTA office while the larger “Sansad Chalo” march roiled the capital. The march, organized by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), aimed to press the government for accountability over the NEET‑UG paper‑leak scandal and other exam‑related controversies, including the 12th CBSE board.

During the protest, participants tried to push towards Parliament House but were met by a light police presence tasked with maintaining law and order. CJP spokespeople Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka presented their demands to Union Minister J.P. Nadda, noting that the Health Minister had promised internal discussion with party leadership.

At Jantar Mantar, tensions rose as police tried to keep demonstrators behind barricades, leading to occasional scuffles. Yet, despite the heightened atmosphere, the NTA office remained untouched, contrary to what some social‑media users were suggesting.

Delhi Police concluded the statement by asking citizens to avoid spreading rumors and to look to official updates for the truth, especially in a climate where misinformation can quickly fan the flames of unrest.
