- Greater Noida Executive Magistrate issued a ₹5 lakh peace-bond notice to Gautam Buddha University student Akshat Tripathi on September 4, alleging he incited peers to join a CJP-led protest; police revoked the order the same day.

- Tripathi rejected the allegations, stating he participated peacefully and was not attending university classes at the time, while the Students' Federation of India condemned the action as 'repressive.'
