CJP March Clashes with Police, Five Metro Stations Shut
On July 20, 2026, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) supporters gathered at Delhi's Jantar Mantar to begin their 'Chalo Sansad' march despite police denying permission. Clashes erupted between protesters and the Delhi police, leading to a lathicharge. Activist Sonam Wangchuk, on hunger strike since July 18, requested hospital authorities to allow him to join the protest temporarily but was denied. Abhijeet Dipke, CJP founder, ended his own hunger strike at activist Sonam Wangchuk's request. Delhi High Court declined urgent hearing of a PIL challenging Wangchuk’s removal from Jantar Mantar to Safdarjung Hospital. Commuters faced chaos as five metro stations were closed due to security concerns.
