In a big win for the ongoing students' protest at Jantar Mantar, Delhi police on Tuesday released all detainees who had been held after the agitation against NEET-UG paper leak went violent on Monday.

Cockroach Janata Party spokesperson Saurav Das made the announcement and asked everyone to maintain peace.

"Our lawyers have told us that all detainees have been released. The dharna outside Delhi police headquarters has therefore been called off. Everyone is requested to maintain peace," Das said.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke had earlier announced they would march to Delhi police headquarters if all detainees were not released by 8 PM tonight.
