Fresh legal action has been initiated after violence erupted during the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest march in New Delhi. Delhi Police has registered four First Information Reports (FIRs) over the clashes that broke out near Jantar Mantar, where protesters attempted to march towards Parliament.

Officials said investigations are underway to identify those responsible for violence, damage to public property and attacks on police personnel. CCTV footage, mobile videos and other electronic evidence are being examined as part of the probe.

Four FIRs Registered After Violent Protest

Police confirmed that four separate FIRs have been filed under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and other applicable laws.

The cases relate to allegations including rioting, assault on public servants, destruction of public property and other offences committed during Monday’s protest.

One FIR was registered for allegedly operating a drone without permission in the New Delhi district during the ongoing Parliament session. Another case focuses on an alleged conspiracy to incite violence. The remaining FIRs deal with obstruction of government work, attacks on police personnel and acts of vandalism.

Authorities indicated that additional FIRs may be registered if further evidence emerges during the investigation.

CCTV Footage Under Detailed Examination

Investigators have started analysing surveillance footage collected from multiple locations around the protest site.

Police are also reviewing photographs, social media videos and recordings captured by security cameras to identify individuals allegedly involved in violent incidents.

Officials said everyone found responsible for damaging government property or attacking police personnel will face legal action.

The investigation remains active, with officers continuing to collect digital and physical evidence.

More Than 170 People Injured During Clashes

The confrontation between protesters and security personnel resulted in injuries on both sides.

According to police, more than 118 Delhi Police personnel suffered injuries during the violence. Nearly 60 protesters were also reported injured.

Several senior officers, including Special Commissioners, Joint Commissioners and Additional Commissioners of Police, were among those hurt. A number of women police personnel also sustained injuries while managing the crowd.

Medical treatment is being provided to the injured, while medico-legal formalities for several personnel are still being completed.

Police Describe Protest as Violent

Police officials alleged that the protest turned violent despite repeated announcements asking demonstrators to disperse peacefully.

Authorities claimed that some protesters attempted to breach barricades, threw stones and other objects at security personnel, damaged police vehicles and vandalised public property.

Officials maintained that prohibitory orders were in force during the protest and alleged that these restrictions were violated during the march.

The police said maintaining public order remained their priority and warned that strict legal action would continue against anyone involved in unlawful activities.

Security Tightened Across Delhi

Following the violence, security arrangements have been significantly strengthened across the national capital.

Multi-layered barricades have been installed at several strategic locations. Vehicle checks have also been intensified across Central, North, South, South West and South East Delhi districts.

Additional police personnel have been deployed around Parliament, major government buildings, busy intersections and other sensitive areas to prevent any further unrest.

Authorities said continuous patrolling is being carried out to ensure law and order.

CJP Says Protest Will Continue

Despite the police action, CJP leaders have indicated that their protest campaign is not over.

The party criticised the police crackdown and maintained that demonstrations would continue in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Delhi Police appealed to residents to cooperate with security personnel and avoid circulating rumours or unverified information on social media while investigations remain ongoing.

Investigation Continues

Police officials said identifying every individual involved in the violence remains the top priority.

Investigators are expected to rely heavily on CCTV footage, digital evidence and witness statements before making further arrests or registering additional cases.

Authorities have reiterated that action will be taken strictly according to law as the investigation progresses.
