Police move hundreds of CJP volunteers to Chhatrasal Stadium holding camp

Volunteers of the Cockroach Janta Party allege they were taken to the stadium in Model Town without being allowed to leave, amid a wider security clampdown in Delhi

Police move hundreds of CJP volunteers to Chhatrasal Stadium holding camp

On October 10, 2026, hundreds of volunteers from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), along with citizens and workers, were transported from various parts of Delhi to Chhatrasal Stadium in Model Town, according to eyewitnesses. The volunteers were placed directly into the stadium premises, with buses dropping them off without any prior administrative procedures. Many individuals were left waiting inside the stadium grounds, expressing their determination to remain despite the government's attempts to silence them.

Vijay Mallangi, a volunteer present at the scene, stated that the presence of thousands in the stadium was a deliberate move by the authorities to suppress free speech. Security personnel were seen primarily handling transit and guarding responsibilities, intervening to prevent movement and group gatherings within the venue. However, there were no reports of physical violence or beatings.

Inside the stadium, chants and slogans were intermittently raised by the gathered individuals. The situation at Chhatrasal Stadium highlights the ongoing struggle for freedom of expression and the lengths authorities are willing to go to suppress dissent.
