Chennai: The cases registered against students who had protested against NEET will be withdrawn, Tamil Nadu Minister A Rajmohan said on Sunday.
The decision came following a directive from Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, the School Education minister said in a social media post.
"As per the directions of the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, all cases registered against students who protested against the NEET examination will be withdrawn. Further details will be announced shortly."
"Heartfelt gratitude to the Hon'ble chief minister of Tamil Nadu," he added.
The move comes in the wake of the government facing flak from some sections over cases filed against students who protested against NEET after the CJP hit the streets in Delhi over the examination paper leak.
