Anurag Kashyap condemns Delhi Police action against CJP protesters
The protest by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak took a tense turn on Monday when a march towards Parliament led to clashes between demonstrators and police. The Delhi Police stated that more than 118 personnel were injured during the unrest, while several protesters also suffered injuries. Videos and images from different parts of Delhi showed confrontations breaking out between security forces and protesters.
Following reports of police action during the CJP’s Chalo Sansad March, Anurag Kashyap took to Instagram to express views. In his Hindi post, the filmmaker questioned whether police personnel were expected to compromise their conscience while carrying out orders. He wrote, “Wardi pehenne ke liye aatma ka, aatmiyta ka, sabka sauda karna padta hai. Maloom nahi tha. Kya ek police wala hai is desh mein jo khada ho ke bol sake main iss Aadesh ka palan nahin karoonga kyonki ye galat hai.”
The post did not name any individual officer, but it was widely interpreted as a response to the scenes that unfolded during the protest in central Delhi.
What happened during the Chalo Sansad March?
The CJP organised the Chalo Sansad March as protesters attempted to march towards Parliament during the Monsoon Session. Delhi Police had said permission had not been granted for the procession beyond the designated protest site and had imposed restrictions in the area.
As crowds moved towards police barricades, clashes broke out between protesters and security personnel. Videos circulating online showed police using batons and tear gas to disperse sections of the crowd. Protesters alleged excessive use of force, while Delhi Police maintained that officers acted after demonstrators turned aggressive and attempted to breach security arrangements.
According to Delhi Police, more than 118 police personnel were injured during this protest. Authorities also said several protesters were detained as the situation escalated.
