Stone-pelting continued six days after CJP Parliament march

Stone-pelting by Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protesters and political activists in central Delhi carried on for at least six days after the July 20 march towards Parliament, security officials said, revising the public timeline of the Jantar Mantar clashes.

An internal Delhi Police document accessed by Hindustan Times, and matched by News18 and Pragativadi, places continued stone-pelting through July 25 — the day CJP called off its sit-in after the Centre accepted key demands, including the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The same record lists 244 police personnel and 209 civilians whose injuries were logged as Medico-Legal Cases (MLCs).

That police figure is well above earlier briefings that put injured officers above 130 around the "Sansad Chalo" march alone.

What remains unverified

• Whether 244 / 209 is the final audited MLC count — the figure is from an internal list; no independent forensic audit has been published. [unverified]
• How many of the 209 civilian MLCs were protesters versus bystanders or press — the document does not break them out. [unverified]
• Names, FIRs and charge sheets for the 100-plus murder-accused individuals flagged by facial recognition — only the aggregate number is public. [unverified]
• Independent confirmation of the "political activists" framing used by officials to describe some of those involved in later stone-pelting. [unverified]

Context

CJP's Jantar Mantar sit-in over the NEET-UG paper leak ran from 20 June to 25 July 2026. The July 20 Parliament march produced the sharpest clashes; students and rights groups alleged police excess, while police families later described head injuries, shattered helmets and online vilification of injured officers. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has said he sympathises with hurt police but blames "BJP goons," not students, for attacks on personnel. The new document is the first detailed public accounting of multi-day stone-pelting locations, gear losses and MLC totals after the march day itself.
