NEW DELHI, July 30 — The Delhi government announced that no further adverse legal action will be taken against individuals who participated in the Cockroach Janta Party-led demonstration in the national capital. In an official directive, the home department confirmed that ongoing matters concerning ordinary protesters will be treated as closed, instructing law enforcement authorities to review existing detentions and expedite the release of detained persons.
The directive specifies that while general participants receive protection from future proceedings, individuals with prior criminal antecedents remain excluded from the relief measure in accordance with recent judicial guidelines.
“Government of NCT of Delhi does not propose to take any further adverse action against the individuals involved in the protests, and the matter shall be treated as closed without any future proceedings on this account,” declared the Home Department in its official order.
Law enforcement authorities previously registered 13 FIRs following the July 20 march toward Parliament. Officials affirmed that the review mechanism aims to ensure public order while providing necessary relief to peaceful participants.
