Allegations of an alleged late-night police entry into a South Extension home and mistreatment of a family have surfaced days before a planned Cockroach Janata Party protest in Delhi, but the claims remain unverified and no response from Delhi Police is included in the supplied report.
Saurav Das, chief spokesperson of the Cockroach Janata Party, alleged on Friday that Delhi Police personnel entered the residence of the party’s North Zone coordinator, Mohan Yadav, at around 1am. The incident was said to have taken place in South Extension.
Das alleged that police personnel misbehaved with Yadav’s wife and that the couple’s two young children were traumatised during the incident. In posts on X, he described the alleged entry as illegal and said Yadav was being targeted because of his association with the movement.
Das also shared audio and video material that he described as recordings of Yadav and his children during the incident. The supplied report does not independently establish when or where the recordings were made, identify the personnel allegedly involved, or confirm whether any police action took place inside the residence.
The allegations have emerged ahead of a CJP protest scheduled for October 10 at Jantar Mantar. The party has said the demonstration will focus on alleged vote theft, the exclusion of young voters from electoral rolls and other concerns involving the Election Commission.
According to the report, Das said the party had formally informed Delhi Police about the proposed demonstration and completed the required formalities. He also said young people from different parts of the country were expected to attend.
Delhi Police has warned against the proposed gathering. The force has said prohibitory restrictions under Section 163 are in force in the national capital and that protests are not permitted at Jantar Mantar or elsewhere while those restrictions remain in effect. Police have also warned that unauthorised gatherings could lead to legal action.
The dispute places two separate questions before the authorities: whether the reported allegations of police conduct can be investigated and established, and how the city will manage a proposed political gathering while restrictions on assembly remain in force. The supplied report does not state whether Yadav or his family has filed a formal complaint, whether an internal inquiry has been ordered, or whether any court or independent authority has been approached.
The claims should therefore be treated as allegations pending confirmation from Delhi Police, relevant records or an independent inquiry. The immediate official milestone is the proposed October 10 demonstration and the enforcement of the restrictions announced by Delhi Police.
