A viral social media video has added an unexpected twist to the ongoing protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, where demonstrators gathered on Monday to demand accountability from the Centre over the alleged NEET examination paper leak.

As police moved to disperse the crowd during the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) 'Sansad Chalo' march, one protester turned his encounter with police into a meme inspired by the popular mobile game Subway Surfers. The clip has since gained traction across social media platforms.

The protest, organised by the CJP, sought the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged paper leak. While protesters accused Delhi Police of carrying out a lathicharge, the police denied the allegation.

'Subway Surfer In Real Life' Video Goes Viral

Instagram user Aman Singh shared a Reel showing himself apparently being chased by a police officer during the protest.

Using the Subway Surfers soundtrack, he captioned the video, "Bro thought he can outrun me," drawing comparisons with the endless-running mobile game in which players flee from a pursuing police inspector.
