Jantar Mantar assault row: CJP protests outside Delhi’s Parliament Street police station, seeks action against attack on student’s father

Members of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), including Saurav Das and Nishu Aazad, along with their supporters are protesting at the Parliament Street police station on Friday (September 4, 2026), seeking a revisit of the FIR registered over an assault on Ms. Nishu’s father, Sanjay Kumar, during the students protest that took place at Jantar Mantar in July.

There is a heavy police deployment outside the police station.

The development comes after a video surfaced online featuring the alleged accused Swatantra Bhardwaj, in which he purportedly spoke about the assault and claimed he “had not been jailed,” triggering fresh questions over the police action in the case. CJP members have alleged that the case should have included a more stringent provision for attempt to murder or grievous hurt and have also raised allegations of political interference.
