Clashes erupted in the national capital on Monday after thousands of supporters of the CJP and students marched from Jantar Mantar towards Parliament, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over recurring examination irregularities, including the NEET-UG paper leaks.
As of now, Delhi Police have registered five FIRs in connection with the violent clashes, officials said.
The FIRs were lodged at Connaught Place and Parliament Street police stations, as well as other stations in the area. Police officials said more FIRs could be registered in the areas where violence took place.
At present, police is making efforts to identify the accused using video footage. Investigators are examining over 250 videos, including mobile phone recordings, CCTV footage, drone camera visuals and footage captured through police body-worn cameras, to trace the individuals allegedly responsible for the violence, IANS reported.
During the Monday’s protests, over 118 police personnel from the Delhi Police and Central Police Forces sustained injuries. Among the injured officers included senior ranks such as Special Commissioner, Joint Commissioner, Additional Commissioner, and Deputy Commissioner.
