Delhi Police are analyzing footage to identify vandals after a CJP protest near Jantar Mantar and Connaught Place turned violent this week.

The unrest highlights escalating tensions between political activists and law enforcement in India's capital. The protest was organized by the CJP to demand the resignation of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and to address broader political grievances.

During the demonstration, protesters engaged in stone-pelting and the vandalism of a police vehicle. These actions resulted in injuries to over 118 police personnel [1]. Authorities have since filed First Information Reports (FIRs) against those involved in the violence.

To identify the perpetrators, Delhi Police are scanning over 250 videos [1] recorded during the march. This digital forensic effort aims to nab individuals captured on camera during the attacks on officers and equipment.

Earlier in the proceedings, police used lathicharges to disperse the crowds. During the course of the protest, 70 people were detained [2]. The atmosphere remained tense as speakers at Jantar Mantar criticized the government's restrictive environment.

Law enforcement officials continue to monitor the areas around Connaught Place to prevent further clashes. The investigation remains ongoing as police cross-reference the video evidence with known associates of the organizing group.

“More than 118 police officers were injured during stone-pelting and vandalism.”

The use of large-scale video analysis to identify protesters indicates a shift toward more aggressive digital surveillance by Delhi Police to deter street unrest. The scale of injuries to law enforcement and the number of detainees suggest a volatile intersection of political dissent and police response in the capital's primary protest zones.
