'No protester under detention,' says Delhi Police; CJP calls off protest outside PHQ

New Delhi, No protester part of the CJP's Parliament march is still under detention, Delhi Police said on Tuesday.

The assertion came as the Cockroach Janata Party claimed that hundreds of protesters were still under police detention, but subsequently announced all its supporters had been released.

The police statement came in the wake of the CJP announcing a protest at the Delhi Police headquarters at 8 pm if the protesters were not released.


"It is clarified that no person is currently under detention," the police said, advising people not to share or circulate unverified content.

Earlier, Cockroach Janata Party spokesperson Saurav Das alleged in a post on X that Delhi Police had detained hundreds of "peaceful protesters" after using "brute, borderline-lethal force" and claimed lawyers were not being allowed to meet them or obtain a complete list of detainees.

However, in a subsequent post on X, Das said the outfit's lawyers had informed them that all the detainees had been released.

"Our lawyers have just told us that all the detainees have been released. The dharna outside Delhi Police HQ is therefore called off! Everyone is requested to maintain peace," read the post.
