Delhi Police Register Case Over Stone-Pelting During CJP Protest
There was a protest in Delhi by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) asking for the Education Minister to resign.
During the protest, some people started throwing stones, which hurt two police officers and many other police personnel.
The CJP says that people sent by the BJP caused the trouble, while the police say the violence came from the protest site.
The police have filed cases against the protesters, and the CJP is blaming the police for bringing stones to the protest area.
Both sides have different stories about what happened.
Delhi Police registered a case against CJP protesters due to alleged violence and stone-pelting during a protest in Connaught Place.
Two Assistant Commissioners of Police and over 100 personnel were injured in the stone-pelting incidents.
The CJP accuses the BJP of sending 'goons' to disrupt the protest and alleges that the Delhi Police brought trucks filled with stones to the site.
The Delhi Police have filed 10 FIRs related to the CJP protests, addressing various law-and-order concerns.
The CJP has been protesting for a month, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
