Delhi Police Say No Permission Sought; CJP Doubles Down: 'Be Ready for Cockroaches'

Delhi Police confirm no formal application has been received for the CJP's planned September 5 march and signal a stricter posture than in July: prohibitory orders under BNSS Section 163 remain in force across New Delhi district, including India Gate, and a senior officer says the march 'is not legal' at that site, suggesting organizers relocate to Ramlila Maidan instead. Paramilitary units are placed on standby and police begin gathering intelligence on CJP leaders. Deputy Commissioner Sachin Sharma says: 'The department has not received any request for any march or protest from their side.' CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka rejects any softening of demands — compensation for victims' families, FIR withdrawals and a police apology — declaring: 'You might have the govt; the country is ours. Keep your words. Accept our demands. Or this Sept 5, be ready for Cockroaches!'
