Delhi Police has released a video purportedly showing an assault on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) constable during the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ march in the national capital, bringing the alleged incident into focus.
The video reportedly shows the constable being slapped and misbehaved with during the march. The police released the footage as part of its account of the incident.
What The Video Allegedly Shows
The footage comes amid heightened tensions between Delhi Police and members of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which organised the march in Connaught Place on October 16. The demonstration was held under the ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ slogan.
The protest followed the detention of CJP members Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, who were sent to five days of judicial custody after an incident at Jantar Mantar. The party has also demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations relating to electoral roll revisions.
Delhi Police had imposed restrictions on gatherings in Connaught Place ahead of the march, citing concerns over public order and disruption. Authorities also deployed police and paramilitary personnel across central Delhi.
The circumstances surrounding the alleged assault on the CRPF constable, including whether any arrests or formal complaints followed the incident, could not be independently confirmed from the available reports.
