Police personnel had been deployed at the site on Sunday, with a riot control vehicle entering the venue early on Monday. The CJP has continued its protest at the site for over a month, demanding the resignation of union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak and other issues.

In a handwritten note from Safdarjung Hospital, activist Wangchuk had earlier outlined three conditions under which he would call off his fast. "Dear friends & supporters, many of you have asked when will I end fast. As mentioned earlier to supporters, I will end my fast on 20th July, if..." Wangchuk wrote. He said he would end the fast if “government takes accountability of the recent failures in education system – paper leaks, etc” or “if the leadership of CJP reach the doorsteps of Parliament where Hon'ble MPs and leaders of various parties assures us that the will now take up the issue in Parliament.” He said that if his health does not permit this, the MPs could visit the hospital and give the above assurances.
