Delhi police injuries and families' justice calls

Entities: Parliament of India · Seema (wife of ASI) · Seema (Delhi Police ASI wife) · Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) · Rahul Gandhi

Overview

On 20 July 2026 the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) staged a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar that turned violent, injuring more than 250 police officers with stones, flower‑pots, slippers and shoes. Senior officers, including ACP Vivek Bhagat, suffered multiple wounds; a sub‑inspector was dragged near the stage, remained unconscious for about four hours at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and was later taken home in a uniform soaked in blood.

On 31 July the families of the injured personnel held a press conference in New Delhi. They presented photographs of the wounded and blood‑stained uniforms, described the trauma of seeing their relatives’ injuries, and accused infiltrating “anti‑social elements”. They called for a parliamentary debate, justice for the police and stronger action against those elements, and condemned the one‑sided social‑media narrative portraying officers as aggressors. During the event, Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi was asked about the families’ grievances and replied, “Are you from the BJP?”, adding to the political controversy.
