The hospital confirmed that the woman is fully conscious, responding to medical instructions, and breathing independently. Her Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reports of the brain and spine have also returned normal results.
Doctors reported continuous improvement in her condition since treatment began on Monday. She remains under close observation and is receiving all required medical care.
According to sources, around 90 students were injured during the protest in the national capital on Monday. The 21-year-old woman is currently the only person admitted to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in connection with the incident. All other injured protesters have been discharged after receiving medical treatment.
Thousands of people gathered at Jantar Mantar on Monday for a Parliament march organised by the Cockroach Janta Party. The protesters demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in examinations, including the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak.
Tensions escalated after protesters attempted to move towards Parliament, following which police used force, including baton charges and tear gas shells, to control the situation. Both police personnel and protesters sustained injuries, with both sides accusing each other of violence.
Sources stated that the woman suffered injuries after colliding with a barricade during the police action against protesters at Jantar Mantar.
Delhi Police said that more than 118 police personnel and around 60 protesters were injured during the clashes. The police also reported that more than 20 police vehicles were damaged during the confrontation.
Union Health Minister JP Nadda visited Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and Lady Hardinge Hospital on Tuesday. During his visits, he met injured protesters, reviewed their health conditions, and held discussions with doctors at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital regarding their treatment.
Despite the clashes, protesters returned to the protest site at Jantar Mantar and continued their demonstration. They are demanding the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, compensation of Rs 1 crore for every NEET aspirant who died by suicide following the alleged paper leak, and withdrawal of police cases filed against all protesters.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, a satirical movement launched two months ago, stated that if the government wants discussions, it must approach the protesters and accept their conditions.
The incident has intensified political and public attention around the protest, with the health recovery of the injured woman becoming a key focus following the clashes between demonstrators and police during the Delhi demonstration.
