Delhi Police have filed a First Information Report (FIR) against leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) for allegedly entering the Jantar Mantar area without authorization, reports PTI. The FIR cites sections related to the alleged breach of a peace bond signed by three CJP leaders, Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and others. The incident occurred hours after the activists were detained for breaching prohibitory orders and raising demands for the chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation.

Jantar Mantar had recently been denotified as a designated protest site. The CJP leader, Abhijeet Dipke, stated that the group's action aimed to reclaim Jantar Mantar, emphasizing that the site's denotification would not deter their agitation.
