This is a shameful day for the country and for our democracy. Our entire team has stood with Sanjay Ji, from the very beginning. We demand that Delhi Police immediately arrest those who have identified themselves as being involved, register an attempt-to-murder case against them, and invoke all applicable serious charges,&#8221; said Ranka.<\/li>\n<li> &#8220;Why are these criminals roaming openly in Delhi? Today, criminals are openly claiming that they attacked the people during the CJP protest. They are also threatening girls. Delhi Police should answer on this. We will not sit silently. We will continue to put pressure. Looking at the Police&#8217;s attitude today, we will decide what to do next,&#8221; says CJP leader Saurav Das.<\/li>\n<li>Activist&#8217;s father, Sanjay  who was allegedly attacked during Jantar Mantar protest, said, &#8220;When we fight against injustice and raise our voice against the government, we chant &#8216;Jai Bhim.&#8217; Some people have a problem with the slogan &#8216;Jai Bhim.&#8217; As followers of Babasaheb, we knew they would object, and that is why &#8216;Jai Bhim&#8217; slogans were also raised there. I was attacked during the protest and lodged an FIR but the police&#8217;s job seems to be to protect the goons and criminals and weaken the victim.&#8221; <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><h4>What we know so far:<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>The CJP alleged that Bhardwaj had admitted in a video to attacking people during the protest and questioned why Delhi Police had not taken action against him.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>In a post on X, the CJP shared the video in which Bhardwaj appears to speak about the alleged incident.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>\u201cThis guy is openly admitting that he attacked people at Jantar Mantar and that BJP leaders provided him immunity from police action afterwards.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>How much more openly does someone have to admit it before Delhi Police takes action?\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>Bhardwaj has been accused of assaulting Sanjay Kumar, the father of student activist Nishu Azad, during the CJP protest at Jantar Mantar.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/>In the video, Bhardwaj claims that a phone call from Delhi minister Kapil Mishra helped him avoid jail after the alleged assault. He also claims to have the backing of several political leaders, including Union minister Chirag Paswan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"46\"\/>His remarks have drawn criticism from opposition leaders, including Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, who questioned why Bhardwaj was not jailed and whether he enjoyed political protection.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"49\"\/>\u201cI cracked the skull of Nishu&#8217;s father. Do you know which section this crime attracts? Section 307. He needed 60 stitches. The man was being taken away in an ambulance in a serious condition. His daughter was standing outside the police station and saying that she would die by suicide if her father didn&#8217;t get justice. But I was not even jailed. The world should know this.
