A significant police operation took place in Delhi this week, targeting protesters gathered to demonstrate at Jantar Mantar. According to reports, the crackdown resulted in the detention of approximately 1,500 people across the capital. The scope of the arrests was notable for including four former chief ministers, signaling a high-level response from authorities to the ongoing demonstrations.

Specific actions were taken against the leadership of the CJP organization. Founder Abhijeet Dipke, along with leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, were reportedly detained by authorities directly from their aircraft upon landing in Delhi. The protesters had been attempting to organize a sit-in and march toward Jantar Mantar, a common site for public demonstrations in the city. While the authorities have moved to clear the streets and prevent the assembly, the exact legal charges filed against the 1,500 detainees remain unclear. The situation reflects a tense standoff between the protesters and the state, with the government moving quickly to neutralize the leadership and disperse the crowds before the protest could gain further momentum.
