- The Patiala House Court granted three-week interim bail to influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj on Tuesday in connection with an alleged assault at Jantar Mantar. The judge ordered his release on a bail bond of Rs. 50,000.
- Swatantra Bhardwaj was detained in Bulandshahr after Cockroach Janta Party worker Nishu Aazad alleged he assaulted her father, Sanjay, during a protest at Jantar Mantar on July 20. The complaint triggered his arrest in early September.
- In a widely circulated video, Bhardwaj claimed he "cracked the skull" of the activist's father, requiring 60 stitches. The Delhi Police initially described the injuries as "simple in nature," creating a factual contradiction.
