Union Minister Chirag Paswan’s Party Seeks FIR Against ‘Influencer’ Swatantra Bhardwaj, Calls for Strict Action
- On Friday, Delhi Police failed to apprehend Swatantra Bharadwaj in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, despite assuring the Cockroach Janta Party he would be arrested within 72 hours for an alleged assault during a Jantar Mantar protest.
- The investigation stems from a July 20 Jantar Mantar protest where Bharadwaj allegedly assaulted Sanjay Kumar, the father of activist Nishu Azad, an incident later detailed in a viral video where he claimed he "cracked the skull" of the victim.
- Bharadwaj denies the assault, claiming he was "gheraoed by 10-15 people" and acted in self-defense, while dismissing the viral video as "fake" and asserting his remarks about political figures were made in "sarcasm."
- Multiple police teams are actively searching for the suspect, who reportedly fled on a Bullet motorcycle wearing a helmet to conceal his identity, as the CJP demands BJP leaders clarify his alleged political connections.
- The CJP delegation threatened to return to the Parliament Street police station if commitments remain unfulfilled, continuing to question why Bharadwaj remained free and urging accountability regarding his alleged links to Union minister Chirag Paswan and Kapil Mishra.
