The Delhi Police has launched a multi-pronged investigation into the violent clashes that erupted during the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) unauthorised "Chalo Sansad" march. Beyond identifying individual rioters on the ground, intelligence and law enforcement agencies are actively investigating whether the unrest was part of a larger, pre-planned political conspiracy—with cyber teams tracking suspicious social media handles allegedly operated from Pakistan.Preliminary background checks of several individuals detained during the clashes revealed that they are not students, raising severe questions regarding external instigation in a movement ostensibly focused on NEET exam leaks.Cyber Investigation Targets Misinformation and Foreign HandlesA crucial arm of the probe, conducted in tandem with specialised cyber units, focuses on the deliberate dissemination of fake news during the standoff. According to senior police sources, several suspicious social media accounts circulated inflammatory rumours aimed at provoking public panic.Investigating agencies confirmed that multiple accounts—including several traced to locations in Pakistan—amplified fake narratives claiming that seven protesters were killed, 391 injured, and 250 arrested during police action. Authorities have dismissed these figures as completely baseless fabrications and urged the public not to share unverified rumours.Fake Claims Circulated Online vs. Official Police Verification [Claim: 7 Protesters Killed] ----> VERIFICATION: FALSE (Zero Fatalities) [Claim: 391 People Injured] ----> VERIFICATION: EXAGGERATED (50+ Cops, Select Protesters Injured) [Claim: Foreign Network] ----> STATUS: ACTIVE PROBE (Pakistan-linked handles flagged) Sustained Violence Against Security Forces and Public PropertyWhile security personnel exercised initial restraint near Jantar Mantar, heavy stone-pelting broke out when marchers attempted to breach multi-tier barricades toward Parliament.Casualties & Injuries: Over 50 security personnel—including more than five senior IPS officers—sustained injuries during prolonged stone-pelting. Injured officers and protesters were admitted to local hospitals for medical care.Vandalism in Janpath: As demonstrators were pushed back from Parliament Street, elements of the crowd vandalised retail shops in the Janpath commercial zone, prompting law enforcement to use mild force to restore order.Property Damage: Protesters targeted two Delhi Police transport buses, smashing their front windshields. An official damage assessment is underway to initiate property recovery proceedings against those responsible.Official Police Position: "Separate FIRs are being registered based on independent complaints across multiple locations. If the investigation establishes the involvement of any political party, organisation, or external group in instigating or financing the violence, strict legal action will follow irrespective of affiliations."Mass Detentions and Cleared Protest SiteFollowing the clearance of the primary demonstration hub at Jantar Mantar, police have detained more than 70 to 100 individuals from various sites across Central Delhi. Detainees have been shifted to designated facilities and temporary centres, including Chhatrasal Stadium, while remaining demonstrator groups relocated near Kerala House. Special teams are currently reviewing CCTV feeds, drone footage, and mobile recordings to finalise individual charges.
