Police file FIRs in Delhi and Goa following disruptive CJP protests and assault on CRPF officer
Law enforcement agencies take firm action across Delhi and Panaji after demonstrations involve physical assault on security personnel, trespass, and inflammatory slogans.
Police in Delhi and Goa have filed multiple First Information Reports and taken legal action against members of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) following unlawful demonstrations marked by physical assault on security personnel and provocative slogans.
In Delhi, law enforcement authorities registered at least three FIRs after CJP activists staged an unauthorised march near Connaught Place and breached restricted areas at Jantar Mantar. During the demonstration near Palika Bazaar, an on-duty woman Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) officer was allegedly heckled and slapped by a protester.
CRPF Director General GP Singh commended the officer, who is a top judo practitioner in the force's sports team, for displaying remarkable patience and resilience under physical provocation. Singh stated that the force remains committed to national peace and public order, confirming that jurisdictional police are taking strict legal steps.
