A massive Cockroach Janata Party protest erupted in Delhi over the alleged assault of Sanjay Kumar, father of CJP activist Nishu Azad, during a protest at Jantar Mantar. CJP supporters marched to the Parliament Street police station demanding action against influencer Swatantra Bharadwaj after a viral clip circulated in which he was seen claiming he had “cracked the skull” of Nishu Azad’s father. CJP leaders are demanding Bharadwaj’s arrest and have called for an attempt-to-murder case. Delhi Police, however, has given a different version, saying Sanjay Kumar suffered a minor injury during a scuffle and that a case was registered on his complaint. Bharadwaj has defended his actions, saying the incident was self-defence and claiming he was surrounded by 10–15 people. He has also disputed the viral clip being circulated online.
