Claims of violence during a protest in Delhi have escalated after Hindu Raksha Dal leader Bhupendra Tomar, also known as Pinky Chaudhary, shared videos on social media that appeared to show people being beaten and said the assaults were carried out by his organisation’s supporters.
The videos were shared after a protest by supporters of the CJP at Jantar Mantar on Saturday, according to a report by Live Hindustan – NCR. Before the demonstration, Hindu Raksha Dal had announced that its members would reach the protest site carrying sticks and had warned of action against people it described as opposed to Sanatan beliefs.
In posts accompanying the videos, Tomar claimed that the people involved in the assaults were members of Hindu Raksha Dal. He described them as his “warriors” and said the organisation would continue responding to people whom it believed had targeted Sanatan beliefs. His posts also included threats against CJP supporters and used language calling for them to be attacked wherever they were found.
One video shared during the day was accompanied by a message in which Tomar said Hindu Raksha Dal would “do what it says” and claimed that its members had the strength to discipline people it labelled as opponents. In another post, he said the organisation had no connection with politics but would target anyone who targeted Sanatan beliefs.
The report also said that a video shared on Saturday morning showed a confrontation at the Ghazipur border. Tomar described the people shown as Hindu Raksha Dal members resisting what he called opposition to Sanatan beliefs, service and India. He further stated that the organisation would not tolerate such remarks and threatened action against CJP supporters.
The supplied report does not include a police statement, details of arrests, injuries, complaints or an independent confirmation of the identities of the people shown in the videos. The claims about the assaults and the affiliation of those involved therefore remain attributed to Tomar and the social-media material cited by Live Hindustan – NCR.
The incident places renewed focus on how Delhi authorities manage politically charged demonstrations and prevent confrontations between rival groups in public spaces. The immediate official response, any police investigation and the legal status of the videos or complaints will determine the next stage of the matter.
