Key Questions Answered
Delhi Police registered two FIRs against 14 members of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) for entering Jantar Mantar without permission, breaking barricades, and obstructing police personnel on duty. Protestors had raised slogans demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
CJP leaders Sourav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were sent to five days of judicial custody in Tihar Jail for violating peace bond conditions and trespassing. Another party member, Ajinkya Shinde, was ordered to execute a personal bond of Rs 5,000 to maintain peace and good behavior for six months.
Controversy erupted after Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar cancelled Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site on October 11, instead designating Ramlila Maidan, Burari Ground, and CBD Ground as official venues. CJP criticized the move, arguing that shifting protests away from Delhi's political center diminishes public agitation visibility.
