CJP Spokesperson Detained and Released by Rajasthan Police Ahead of Protest
Deepak Baliyan, national spokesperson of the Cockroach Janta Party, was forcibly taken by Rajasthan police from his home in Alwar district late Thursday night and held for about five hours before release. Baliyan, recovering from a leg fracture, alleged police dragged him despite his injury, seized his phone and slippers, and forced him to sign a statement denying mistreatment. Police said they informed him about restrictions related to a planned protest. Baliyan's family and activists criticized the police actions, while authorities denied some allegations. Baliyan was released after a 100-km drive and remains under police supervision.
