Jantar Mantar Assault Row: CJP Protests Outside Delhi’s Parliament Street Police Station, Seeks Action Against Attack on Student’s Father
Gandhi said the Delhi Police failed to act for more than 1.5 months after Sanjay suffered head injuries in the alleged assault.
- On Thursday, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi accused Union Home Minister Amit Shah of protecting Swatantra Bhardwaj, a self-styled Hindutva influencer accused of attacking the father of student protester Nishu Azad.
- A video surfacing online shows Bhardwaj claiming that calls from Delhi minister Kapil Mishra helped him avoid jail after he allegedly injured Sanjay Kumar, Nishu's father, requiring 60 stitches.
- Delhi Police claimed Kumar sustained simple head injuries from a kada during a scuffle, while CJP spokesperson Saurav Das alleged the victim's "skull was cracked open" and police refused to add attempted murder charges.
- Responding to Gandhi's support, Nishu said, "I didn't expect that Rahul Gandhi ji would actually tweet about it," expressing hope that justice will follow and Bhardwaj will face jail time.
- Gandhi questioned, "Why does such a criminal have the protection of you and the people in your party?" highlighting accusations that the influencer enjoys political impunity despite documented evidence of the assault.
