Delhi Police said the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) failed to comply with conditions imposed during an earlier demonstration, prompting authorities to deny permission for its October 10 protest at Jantar Mantar. Police officials also cited the late submission of the application, public safety concerns, traffic management difficulties and potential law-and-order disruptions. The protest aimed to demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Despite the denial, CJP proceeded with its mobilisation, leading to widespread detentions and heightened security restrictions across Delhi. The police defended its decision as necessary for public safety. (PC: PTI)
