New Delhi: The individuals who became prominent figures during the CJP protests in July are preparing for a reunion as a new gathering approaches at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Ahead of the planned demonstration, Instagram user Abhinav Bisht published a video featuring Muhammad Shan and Nikhil Verma, using the caption "Ready for Season 2" to signal their return.
Bisht rose to online prominence during the earlier protests by recording social media reels with fellow demonstrators to popular tracks, helping his follower count exceed 900,000. In the newly released clip, Bisht, Shan, and Verma pose near a barricade while background music features the viral songs that previously accompanied their content from the site.
The nostalgic framing and familiar tracks provided a direct throwback to the July demonstrations, where multiple participants emerged as online personalities. Bisht labeled the trio "S1 players" in his post, playing into a seasonal narrative that suggested the group was preparing for another round of public visibility.
The video drew enthusiastic responses from online audiences, with commenters commending the lineup and offering encouragement while expressing concerns for their safety. The clip preceded a planned October 10 protest called by the CJP at Jantar Mantar.
While the July agitation focused on the NEET-UG paper leak and accountability within the education sector, the subsequent protest centered on demands for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar regarding disputed voter-roll revisions. The Election Commission has defended the updates as part of standard roll verification, whereas critics have voiced opposition over deleted voter entries.
Authorities in Delhi denied permission for the intended demonstration, citing potential disruptions to public order and procedural rules. As the CJP gathered attention for a fresh series of actions, Bisht's digital post redirected public focus toward the young content creators whose earlier reels defined much of the online discourse surrounding the summer protests.
