Key Questions Answered
The Delhi High Court agreed to hear a plea to stop the Cockroach Janta Party's October 16 protest at Connaught Place Central Park during the Dussehra weekend, as petitioners argued that the area was being targeted and businesses were shutting down.
Abhijeet Dipke called for a protest after CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were sent to five-day judicial custody in Tihar Jail for allegedly violating peace bonds and trespassing into Jantar Mantar.
Jantar Mantar has been officially denotified as a protest area, which led to the recent police action and trespassing allegations against CJP members.
