The standoff follows a brutal incident at Jantar Mantar where Sanjay Azad sustained severe head injuries. Tensions escalated after a video surfaced featuring Swatantra Bhardwaj, who allegedly admitted to the attack while boasting of his political influence. Despite these public admissions, activists claim the police have resisted filing an FIR that includes serious charges, such as attempted murder under Section 307 or violations of the SC/ST Act.
A delegation representing the CJP, supported by Azad Samaj Party chief Chandrashekhar Azad and independent MP Pappu Yadav, met with the Additional DCP at the Parliament Street Police Station to present their demands. According to Das, police officials have offered verbal assurances that the accused will be identified and apprehended within the three-day window. Nishu Azad, who has reported receiving targeted online threats, continues to plead for personal security, citing the accused’s continued freedom as a direct risk to her safety.
The case has garnered significant political attention, drawing in Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who publicly questioned why the central government appears to be shielding the perpetrator. Gandhi accused the Home Ministry of overseeing a system that ignores violence against Dalit citizens while suppressing student activism. For now, the CJP awaits the promised legal documentation, keeping their mobilization plans on standby until the 72-hour deadline expires.
