Neha Bora denies involvement in the CJP’s Connaught Place protest call; separate proceedings involving party activists are also scheduled in Delhi.
The ongoing controversy surrounding the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests continued on Friday, with developments in Delhi involving the police and the courts. According to a report published by The Times of India, All India Students’ Association (AISA) president Neha Bora told the Delhi High Court that she was not involved in the CJP’s October 16 protest call at Central Park in Connaught Place. She said she had organised a separate gathering at Mandi House.
Bora challenged a police notice requiring her to furnish a bond for maintaining peace. During the hearing, she also argued that advocating a change of government through democratic means was not inherently wrong. The Delhi High Court reserved its order on the matter. No final decision had been reported at the time of publication.
Separate Proceedings Involving CJP Activists
In another development, CJP activists Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and Ajinkya Shinde were expected to appear before a Special Executive Magistrate’s court on October 23 after reportedly missing questioning by the Delhi Police Crime Branch.
The investigation is linked to a protest held at Jantar Mantar on October 13. The latest reports do not establish the final outcome of the scheduled proceedings.
The CJP has organised protests connected to concerns over electoral processes and the Election Commission. Its demonstrations have led to police action and legal proceedings in Delhi, drawing attention to questions surrounding public protest, law enforcement and democratic expression. Further developments are expected as the courts consider the pending matters.
