Clash Between Protesters and Police Leaves Nearly 180 Injured

A protest march by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demanding a minister's resignation turned violent on Wednesday, resulting in injuries to 118 police officers and 60 protesters. The confrontation occurred as demonstrators attempted to march toward Parliament but were blocked by law enforcement. Police detained several individuals and filed charges including rioting and assault on public servants. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alleged that Left-affiliated student groups orchestrated the violence. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine criminal responsibility for the disturbances. The protest was part of ongoing demands by the CJP for the minister's removal over allegations of misconduct. Both sides reported significant injuries, with police confirming that some officers sustained serious wounds. The incident has heightened political tensions, with opposition parties criticizing the police response. Further legal proceedings are expected as the investigation continues.
