A new video has surfaced from the Jantar Mantar protest, showing senior Delhi Police officers warning Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) organisers about inadequate crowd management and possible security risks before the massive gathering. The footage shows New Delhi DCP Sachin Sharma and Joint CP Deepak Purohit telling organisers that there were not enough volunteers to manage the swelling crowd and cautioning that the situation could become difficult to control. The officers also refer to the presence of alleged criminal elements in the gathering. Meanwhile, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has levelled fresh accusations against Delhi Police alleging that Delhi Police itself stationed a truck loaded with stones near the protest site before the unrest.  

Political strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor has secured a landmark victory in the Bankipur Assembly bypoll, marking a major breakthrough for his Jan Suraaj Party. The win comes in Kishor's electoral debut and represents a significant milestone after Jan Suraaj failed to win a seat in the previous Bihar Assembly elections. During the campaign, Kishor focused on issues such as migration, employment, education and governance, positioning the bypoll as a referendum on Bihar's future.
