Claims of violence around a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar intensified after Hindu Raksha Dal leader Bhupendra Tomar, also known as Pinky Chaudhary, shared videos showing people apparently assaulting supporters of the CJP organisation and claimed that members of his group were responsible.
The videos were shared on social media after a Saturday protest by CJP supporters. According to Live Hindustan – NCR, Hindu Raksha Dal had earlier announced that its members would reach Jantar Mantar carrying sticks and had warned of action against people it described as opposed to Sanatan beliefs.
Chaudhary had issued the warning in a post on X before the protest. After the demonstration, he shared several videos and described the people seen in them as his “warriors”. His posts claimed that Hindu Raksha Dal workers had carried out the assaults. The videos and the claims were reported by the news outlet; the material supplied for this report does not independently establish the identities of everyone shown or the circumstances of each incident.
In one post, Chaudhary wrote that his workers had the ability to “teach a lesson” to people whom he described using an abusive term. In another message accompanying a video, he said that Hindu Raksha Dal would target anyone who targeted Sanatan beliefs and that he was prepared to protect his members.
A further video shared on Saturday morning was described by Chaudhary as showing a confrontation at the Ghazipur border. In the accompanying message, he warned that anyone associated with CJP who was found at a location would be attacked. The report does not provide independent confirmation of the location, timing or identities of the people visible in that video.
The episode places a public protest venue and the policing of demonstrations at the centre of the incident. Jantar Mantar is a designated location for public protests in the national capital, where competing groups can come into close proximity and where crowd management is essential to prevent intimidation or physical confrontation. The reported warnings, followed by videos depicting alleged assaults, raise questions about how threats made before a demonstration are assessed and acted upon by authorities.
The source report does not state whether Delhi Police registered a case, detained anyone, confirmed the videos, or issued a response. It also does not provide details of injuries, medical treatment or the number of people allegedly involved. Those facts remain material to establishing the full extent of the incident.
The immediate developments to watch are any police statement, formal complaint, criminal case or independent verification of the videos and the claims made by the Hindu Raksha Dal leader.
