CJP protest violence: Delhi Police probe larger conspiracy angle

The Delhi Police have launched a probe into the violence that erupted during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)'s protest march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament.

The police are looking into whether this incident was part of a larger conspiracy to disturb peace in the national capital.

Five First Information Reports (FIRs) have also been registered against unidentified individuals under various sections related to rioting and assaulting public servants on duty.

Nearly 70 protesters detained so far

The Delhi Police are also considering registering a separate FIR for criminal conspiracy.

Nearly 70 protesters have been detained so far in connection with the unrest.

Investigators are now reviewing CCTV footage and social media posts to identify those involved in the violence.

"We are also reviewing social media posts and mobile phone recordings as part of the investigation," a source told The Indian Express.

Over 200 people injured in violence

The CJP had organized the march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament to demand Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over a NEET paper leak.

The police said many protesters broke through barricades, clashed with officers, and damaged police vehicles along the route.

Over 200 people were injured in the violence, including more than 100 police officers.
