The protest followed a viral interview in which Bhardwaj allegedly claimed he assaulted Sanjay Kumar during a July 20 demonstration at Jantar Mantar.
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) supporters, including its spokesperson Saurav Das, gathered outside the Parliament Street police station here on Friday demanding action against self-styled Hindutva influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj over the alleged assault of a student protester's father.
The protest was organised after an interview went viral in which Bhardwaj claimed he assaulted Sanjay Kumar, father of CJP protester Nishu Azad, during a demonstration at Jantar Mantar on July 20.

The CJP has accused Delhi Police of failing to take stringent action against Bhardwaj and demanded justice for Sanjay. The protesters raised slogans against Delhi Police. Delhi Police, however, has disputed claims that Sanjay suffered a skull fracture, saying he sustained a minor injury during a scuffle and that a case was registered on his complaint. Security has been stepped up around the police station, with additional personnel deployed and barricades put up to maintain law and order.
