A protest march organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Delhi on Monday escalated into violent clashes after thousands of demonstrators attempted to march from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament on the opening day of the Monsoon Session.
What began as a rally demanding action over irregularities in competitive examinations ended in widespread chaos, with security forces using tear gas and batons to disperse protesters. The unrest left police vehicles damaged, dozens of people detained, and several injuries reported on both sides.
According to officials, more than 50 personnel from the Delhi Police and paramilitary forces sustained injuries during the clashes, including over five IPS officers. Several protesters were also injured.
Following the violence, Delhi Police launched an investigation by registering multiple FIRs and reviewing CCTV footage as well as videos recorded on mobile phones. Investigators are also examining whether the unrest was fuelled by misinformation or was part of a larger planned conspiracy.
