‘Sar Faade Hain': Hindutva 'Influencer' Boasts Assault on CJP Protester's Father, Delhi Police Says He Didn't
The party says the man’s interview is an open admission of assault and wants police to act after officers declined without a court order.
- On Friday, Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das visited the Parliament Street police station demanding action over a viral interview where a man boasted about assaulting a student protester's father during July's Jantar Mantar agitation.
- Swatantra Bhardwaj, who describes himself as a "Swatantra Sanatani Yodha" on Facebook, admitted in the viral interview to cracking the skull of Nishu's father, Sanjay, during the July 20 Jantar Mantar protest.
- Deputy Commissioner Sachin Sharma and Assistant Commissioner Ajay Sharma refused the CJP's demand, telling them to "go get a court order." Critics alleged Sharma previously allowed a stone-laden truck at the protest site.
- AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal shared the video online to attack Modi, while TMC Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra targeted Amit Shah, calling for a movement seeking his resignation over the incident.
- Das alleged the wound warranted an attempt-to-murder charge that would have mandated Bhardwaj's immediate arrest, yet police failed to add it to the FIR, prompting concerns about impunity for those targeting protesters.
