Sunday’s march began at Andhra Bhawan Circle on Ashoka Road, with hundreds of students, opposition leaders and members of the Cockroach Janta Party converging for a third day of protest.
The demonstrators chanted slogans and attempted to cross barricades toward Jantar Mantar, but a heavy police presence stalled their advance, leading to brief clashes as officers tried to block their path.
Central to the rally is the claim that ACP Vivek Bhagat sexually harassed three female journalists during the October 3 demonstration, a complaint that Delhi Police say has been forwarded to the Crime Branch but has not yet triggered an FIR.
AISA president Neha Bora was photographed attempting to climb a police barricade, sparking accusations that the Delhi Police used an unauthorized vehicle to detain her without a single female constable present, according to the organization’s X post.
CPI(M) leaders Brinda Karat and Aishe Ghosh, after a prolonged sit‑in, secured a meeting with the DCP, who requested video footage before considering any action, underscoring the opposition’s insistence on evidence.
The police’s referral to the Crime Branch means an impartial inquiry will be launched, with the next court hearing scheduled in the coming weeks, while activists plan to extend the sit‑in until a formal investigation is announced.
