The Delhi Police have denied permission for the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) proposed protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10, citing alleged non-compliance with conditions agreed to during an earlier demonstration, Joint Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Nupur Prasad said on Friday (October 9, 2026), a day before the proposed protest.

“Because of not following the conditions as part of undertaking during the past protest, this time the permission has been denied,” Ms. Prasad said.

The decision comes two days after CJP co-convener Saurav Das submitted an intimation letter to the Delhi Police on October 7, informing them of the planned demonstration and seeking arrangements for law and order and traffic management. The protest is scheduled for Saturday (October 10).

The official said that the permission was sought in the last minute while as per rules it should be sort atleast 10 days before the protest.
