CJP launches website to collect evidence against police excesses during protests
The party has asked protesters to upload photos and videos to help identify police personnel involved.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) said the website will gather evidence from people who took part in the July 20 “Sansad Chalo” march. The party claims the material will be reviewed before filing complaints against the officers identified in the footage.
CJP spokesperson Saurav Das alleged that police personnel assaulted students and mistreated women protesters during the operation. He said the party would work to identify every officer allegedly involved in the crackdown.
Das said protesters should upload any photos or videos showing the alleged incidents. He added that the party would seek FIRs against the identified officers after verifying the evidence.
The party also warned that it would move the courts if the Delhi Police refused to register cases. According to CJP, lawyers from different parts of India are already assisting with the legal process.

The announcement came after CJP leaders held talks with Union ministers over the ongoing protest movement. During the meeting, the party repeated its demands, including action over the alleged police crackdown and accountability for the examination paper leak controversy.
The July 20 “Sansad Chalo” march was stopped by Delhi Police using tear gas and baton charges after protesters attempted to move forward. Police have denied allegations of using pellet guns and said force was used only after security arrangements were breached.
The proposed website is expected to become a central platform for collecting evidence from protesters across the country. The move signals that the dispute may now shift from street protests to legal proceedings in the courts.
The launch of the website shows that the protest movement is entering a new legal phase. If enough evidence is collected, the issue could remain in the spotlight even after the street demonstrations have ended.
