CJP protest LIVE UPDATES: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Thursday alleged that the Delhi Police had parked a badly damaged car near its protest venue at Jantar Mantar. The party also shared pictures of the vehicle on social media. In a post on X, CJP questioned the police over the presence of the car. “Delhi Police has brought a completely damaged car and placed it outside the protest site. Why has this vehicle been brought here? What are you trying to show?” the party wrote. CJP also claimed that the public should note the condition of the vehicle before the protest, saying it did not want peaceful protesters to be blamed for any damage later. Meanwhile, a large number of police personnel have been deployed around Jantar Mantar as the CJP’s protest continues.
