Penti Naidu

Delhi Police has released a video showing an alleged assault on security personnel during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)’s ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ march in central Delhi on Friday evening, October 16. Police sources alleged that a woman posing as a YouTuber slapped a paramilitary personnel near Gate No. 6 of Rajiv Chowk Metro Station.

According to sources, several police and paramilitary personnel were allegedly targeted during the protest. Police are examining footage from multiple cameras to identify those involved in the incident.

Officials said legal action was being considered against the people identified in connection with the alleged assault. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are awaited.

Why Did the CJP Organise the March?

The CJP, led by Abhijeet Dipke, had called for the ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ march at Connaught Place at 5 pm on Friday. The demonstration was organised to protest against what the party described as the “illegal” detention of its members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka.

The two were detained earlier in the week after allegedly attempting to enter Jantar Mantar, which had been removed from the list of designated protest venues. CJP and opposition INDIA bloc parties have also been organising demonstrations against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

CJP Founder, AISA Leader Detained

Ahead of the planned march, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and All India Students’ Association (AISA) chief Neha Bora were taken into preventive custody, according to Delhi Police.

Bora was released on Saturday morning, while police said Dipke would be produced before the relevant Special Executive Magistrate court. Authorities said Dipke had received two notices directing him not to visit Central Park in Connaught Place for the planned demonstration. Police alleged that he failed to comply with the directions. According to the police, Dipke had furnished a bond of ₹50,000 and was directed to maintain public peace for one year.

The latest incident has added to tensions surrounding protests in the capital, with police continuing to examine the alleged assault and the circumstances surrounding the demonstration.
