Attack On The Uniform: Over 50 Cops Injured and More Than 70 Detained As CJP Protest Spirals Out Of Control; Delhi Police To File FIR

A massive security response has blanketed the New Delhi district after a protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) turned violent, leaving more than 50 police personnel injured. The confrontation erupted when thousands of demonstrators attempted to march toward Parliament, leading to direct clashes with law enforcement.

According to Delhi Police sources, an FIR is officially being registered following the unrest, during which protesters targeted security forces with stones. The intense stone-pelting left at least 17 personnel injured, including members of both the Delhi Police and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF). In immediate response to the assault, law enforcement detained several individuals tied to the violence.

Multiple FIRs Registered and Over 70 Detained

Providing an update on the ongoing legal action, the Special CP (Law and Order) stated that separate FIRs are being registered based on different individual complaints. Law enforcement is actively taking action and registering cases wherever complaints are being received across the affected areas.

So far, more than 70 individuals have been taken into custody as the police intensify their crackdown on the rioters.

Escalation Near Parliament Street

The demonstrators originally gathered at the Jantar Mantar protest site for the "Chalo Sansad" march. Their goal was to protest against alleged irregularities in the NEET—the national entrance examination for medical colleges—and to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. However, because the demonstration lacked the necessary permission to take place near Parliament Street, police moved in to stop the advance. Security forces deployed tear gas and resorted to a lathi-charge (baton-charge) after protesters allegedly tried to breach the barricades.

In retaliation, demonstrators began pelting stones at the officers stationed along the defensive lines. The standoff quickly spilled over onto several approach roads, continuing well into the evening before police successfully brought the situation under control.

Digital Evidence to Identify Masked Rioters

To identify the perpetrators, the police are conducting an in-depth investigation using CCTV and mobile phone footage. Law enforcement personnel are fully engaged in tracking down the accused based on all available digital evidence.

Republic Bharat has accessed the specific videos that the police are currently using to identify the rioters. The police have secured approximately 40 similar video clips from the scene. The footage reveals that most of the rioters had intentionally covered their faces with handkerchiefs and clothes to hide their identities while they were captured actively breaking through the police barricades.

Injuries and Law Enforcement Response

The situation deteriorated rapidly, resulting in injuries to dozens of officers who were subsequently shifted to nearby hospitals for medical treatment. Visuals from the ground captured the intense moments when the crowd turned on law enforcement. The footage showed injured policemen, some with bleeding noses and head wounds, and others already wrapped in bandages, resolutely remaining on the frontline to fulfill their duties.

Among the casualties recorded in the visuals, a Rapid Action Force (RAF) jawan was injured, sustaining a severe head injury from the stone-pelting unleashed by the protesters. Additionally, a Delhi Police Inspector was also injured during the chaotic confrontation.

Officials have described the incident as an organized wave of violence against the deployment. A Delhi Police Sub-Inspector who sustained injuries during the confrontation recounted the sudden outbreak of aggression. Following the clashes, security has been heavily intensified at key locations across the New Delhi district, and formal legal action has been initiated against those involved in the unrest.
