John Brittas vs Delhi Police — Complaint regarding alleged assault

Following a protest at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, a viral video surfaced showing a group of men physically assaulting protesters. In connection with this incident, Delhi Police arrested four individuals.

Following a dispute over a seat on a Delhi Metro train that resulted in the death of a man named Pawan Sharma, police have arrested former IAS officer Sanjay Pratap Singh and his son, lawyer Siddharth Singh. The incident reportedly involved a physical altercation between the accused and the victim.

An alleged assault occurred during a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on June 23, 2026, in which student activist Nishu Aazad's father, Sanjay Kumar, was reportedly attacked. Viral influencer Swatantra Bhardwaj was booked initially for voluntarily causing hurt and wrongful restraint. The Delhi Police subsequently altered the FIR to add charges of attempt to murder, voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons, and provisions under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
