New Delhi: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Monday accused the Delhi Police of using excessive force against protesters during its “Sansad Chalo” march, alleging that several students were injured and Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, was pushed around, as the outfit continued its protest with a sit-in near Kerala House, after police dismantled the stage at Jantar Mantar.Police, however, denied the allegation that Angmo was assaulted as “completely false and misleading”. They claimed that “no individuals were subjected to targeted assault”.The allegations came after police dispersed protesters attempting to march towards Parliament and cleared the protest site. By evening, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka, Saurav Das and Angmo continued the sit-in near Kerala House, saying the agitation would continue despite the crackdown.“Police have been absolutely brutal. They have fractured the skulls of many students who were protesting here. Even a 15-year-old girl was brutally beaten up by a male police officer. A male police officer even tried to grab the hair of Sonam Wangchuk’s wife, Gitanjali Angmo. They even tried to lathicharge her and drag her out of the tempo,” Dipke alleged.Addressing supporters, Angmo said the movement has drawn the support of an estimated 25 lakh young people, which, she said reflects widespread concern over the condition of the country’s education system.“This shows that our education system, education policies and overall governance in the sector are deeply flawed and affecting every young person. The government must listen to their concerns at the earliest. Good governance means listening to the voices of youngsters and resolving this matter without delay,” she said.Angmo said Wangchuk, who continues his hunger strike at the Safdarjung Hospital, has laid down three conditions for ending his fast—the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, an assurance from cabinet ministers and members of Parliament that issues relating to education would be taken up during the ongoing Monsoon session and action by the government on a memorandum submitted by the protesters, covering issues ranging from the alleged NEET paper leak to the condition of government schools.“Only if these assurances are given will Sonam end his fast,” Angmo said.The Delhi Police, however, denied allegations that Angmo was assaulted.In a post on X, the force said reports claiming that Angmo was assaulted or had her hair pulled by police personnel are “completely false and misleading”.“No individuals were subjected to targeted assault, and claims suggesting malicious force or personal targeting are entirely baseless,” it said.The CJP said its protest would continue despite the police action, with Dipke, Ranka, Das and Angmo continuing their sit-in near Kerala House after being removed from Jantar Mantar. “This peaceful protest is not ending,” the outfit said.CJP spokesperson Aafreen, speaking to The Tribune, said, “We are continuing our sit-in after what the Delhi Police did by hunting down young kids.”She also said, “The CJP appeals to every protester and supporter to remain safe and participate peacefully.”(With inputs from Anshita Mehra, Harsh Yadav, Rahul Gahlawat and PTI).Police dismantle stage, tents at Jantar MantarJuly 20, 2026 10:44 pmOn Monday evening, police wiped clean the protest site at Jantar Mantar, by dismantling the stage and tents set up by the CJP.
