Delhi Police Investigate CJP Protest Violence Using Digital Evidence
The Delhi Police are investigating the violence that happened during a protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).
They are looking at videos from CCTV cameras, drones, and mobile phones to find out who started the trouble.
The police think that some people who are not regular protesters might have come to cause problems.
They are also checking if there were planned attacks on police officers during shift changes.
So far, about 200 police officers have been hurt, and the police have started legal cases against some people.
The protest is now peaceful, but the police are still looking into what happened.
Delhi Police are analyzing CCTV, drone, and mobile footage to identify individuals involved in violence during the CJP protest.
The investigation focuses on whether 'outsiders' and 'habitual offenders' infiltrated the demonstrations to instigate violence.
Technical evidence, including call detail analysis and facial comparison, is being used to corroborate field intelligence and witness accounts.
Police are probing alleged coordinated attacks on police personnel during shift changes and scrutinizing the backgrounds of individuals arriving in Delhi for the protest.
Nearly 200 police personnel have been injured, and 12 FIRs have been registered, with more cases expected as the investigation progresses.
