New Delhi, Sep 4, 2026: Demanding action against self-styled Hindutva influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj over the alleged assault of a student protester’s father, supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), including its spokesperson Saurav Das, staged a protest outside the Parliament Street police station on Friday.

The protest followed a viral interview in which Bhardwaj allegedly claimed that he assaulted Sanjay Kumar, father of CJP protester Nishu Azad, during a demonstration at Jantar Mantar on July 20.

The CJP accused the Delhi Police of failing to take stringent action against Bhardwaj and demanded justice for Sanjay Kumar. The protesters also raised slogans against the Delhi Police.

However, the Delhi Police has disputed claims that Sanjay suffered a skull fracture, stating that he sustained a minor injury during a scuffle. Police said a case was registered based on his complaint.

Security was tightened around the Parliament Street police station, with additional personnel deployed and barricades erected to maintain law and order.
