Delhi High Court Declines Urgent Hearing of Plea on Police Brutality on CJP Protesters
The bench said the plea will be heard on Wednesday after CJP accused police of injuring protesters and using tear gas during the march.
- The Delhi High Court on Tuesday refused an urgent hearing on a petition alleging "excessive force" by Delhi Police against Cockroach Janta Party protesters, with Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia remarking, "Don't drag the court into all this."
- Thousands joined the CJP's "Chalo Sansad" march in New Delhi on Monday to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged NEET exam irregularities, prompting police lathi-charges near Parliament House.
- At least 38 injured protesters were taken to Lady Hardinge Medical College, while around 65 were treated at Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital for fractures and eye injuries from tear gas exposure.
- The CJP alleged police assaulted activist Sonam Wangchuk's wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, during the dispersal; Delhi Police denied the assault allegations, calling them "completely false and misleading."
- Activist Sonam Wangchuk announced on Monday he would continue his indefinite hunger strike following the police action, while the court scheduled the petition hearing for Wednesday amid an FIR lodged regarding vandalism near Connaught Place.
