Delhi Police Registers FIR to Probe July 20 CJP Protest Violence and Criminal Involvement
The Delhi Police Crime Branch has registered a fresh FIR to investigate the violence during the July 20 Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest in New Delhi. The probe focuses on whether the violence was premeditated and the involvement of 2,873 individuals with criminal records identified via facial recognition technology. The investigation will examine their presence, roles in instigating violence, and any links to student groups. This follows the Supreme Court's order quashing earlier FIRs but permitting a new case on these individuals. Ahead of a planned October 10 CJP protest, police are monitoring potential repeat incidents.
