Naimisha Pradhan, daughter of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, has reportedly disabled her Instagram account following severe online backlash during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests. Activists and netizens flooded her social media and university pages, criticizing the perceived hypocrisy of elite foreign education for ministers' children while Indian students suffer from repeated exam leaks.

Naimisha completed her LL.M. from Tufts University's Fletcher School after Indian degrees. Critics highlighted this amid demands for Pradhan's resignation over NEET irregularities. The backlash intensified as CJP protests turned violent in Delhi, with stone-pelting, alleged sword attacks, and injuries reported on both sides.

While some condemned the targeting of family members, others argued it underscores systemic inequalities in India's education system. The CJP movement, demanding accountability, has gained massive traction online, pressuring political families.

Dharmendra Pradhan has dismissed the protests as politically motivated. As investigations into the violence continue, Naimisha's decision to go offline highlights the personal toll of public scrutiny in India's heated education debate.
