CJP protest: 4 right-wing men arrested over viral video showing students and women being assaulted

In the aftermath of the October 10 CJP protest in Delhi, four men have been apprehended due to a viral video alleging the assault of young students and women on DDU Marg, within Kamla Market Police Station's jurisdiction. The arrested individuals are identified as Raman Saini, 50; Vivekanand alias Vivek, 32; Kapil Kumar, 27; and Ravinder Singh alias Govind Hindu, 35.

All four claim to be members of the Hindu Raksha Dal, a right-wing Hindu organization. According to sources, the video initially emerged on the same day as the protest, as students sought to congregate at various locations. The footage quickly spread across social media platforms, but the police only identified the location after conducting verification checks amid widespread detentions.

A police officer can be seen in the video as the incident occurred, with one of the accused present at the scene. Despite no formal complaint being filed, the Delhi Police received anonymous information indicating that the accused might attempt to flee the Delhi-NCR region. Acting on this, the police swiftly arrested the four men.

The video has garnered significant attention on social media, shared by accounts linked to political figures and organizations, such as the Indian Youth Congress, AISA and the CJP.
