POLICE CRACK DOWN ON TIRANGA MARCH IN DELHI, 150 DETAINED

CJP Protest Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar Intensifies | Demonstrators Blocked from Entering Central Park

 NEW DELHI: Tensions escalated in the national capital as police blocked the ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ march organised by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the withdrawal of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Around 150 protesters, including CJP founder Abhijit Deepke and student union leader Neha Bohra, were detained as police moved to stop the demonstration

Authorities imposed restrictions under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) in the Connaught Place area and deployed a heavy police force to prevent protesters from proceeding towards Central Park.

The police action triggered fresh questions over the handling of political protests in the capital, with demonstrators seeking to press their demands over the electoral roll revision process.

 Meanwhile, CJP supporters staged a parallel Tiranga protest at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, extending the agitation beyond Delhi.

Social activist Anjali Damania strongly condemned the police action against protesters in the national capital.

PROTEST ROW DEEPENS

With demands for the CEC’s resignation and the withdrawal of SIR at the centre of the agitation, the detention of around 150 demonstrators has intensified the political confrontation. The incident has renewed debate over the right to peaceful protest and the authorities’ response to dissent.
