Chaos erupted at Jantar Mantar on Saturday after a woman threw an ink-like liquid at Kukrush Janata Party founder Abhijit Debke while he was addressing a gathering at the protest site.
The incident briefly disrupted the program as fans rushed towards the stage, causing an uproar.
“Blue is my colour… Jai Bheem!” Dipke said while sharing the video on X.
The identity of the woman and the motive behind the act were not immediately known. This comes after Debki announced that he would go on an indefinite hunger strike after Delhi Police took social activist Sonam Wangchuk to hospital on the 21st day of his hunger strike at Jantar Mantar.
Wangchuk has been on an indefinite hunger strike since June 28 to support the CJP-led protest over alleged irregularities in the NEET exam. Doctors monitoring him said he lost nearly 9.5 kg while fasting, while his blood pressure and blood sugar levels are closely monitored.
Debaki claimed on social media that protesters were arrested and subjected to police action during the exercise.
How was wangchuk removed
The exercise was conducted on a strictly need-to-know basis, with only a few senior officers aware of the entire strategy, police sources told ANI, adding that senior officers also decided to carry out the operation at dawn, when the number of protesters at the site was at its lowest.
Reportedly, inspectors and most police personnel deployed on the ground were instructed to arrive at the protest site and remain only at their posts. They were not informed of full operational details in advance.
The next step was to identify the perfect opportunity, which sources said came when Wangchuk’s close aide and founder of the Kokrush Janta Party, Abhijit Debke, was away from the protest site. This left the theater without its chief coordinator, the unnamed official added.
The ANI report said that around dawn, 30 to 35 personnel from the New Delhi district special staff and local police units, dressed in civilian clothes, quietly entered the barricaded protest area.
The officers first surrounded Wangchuk’s bed before covering it on all four sides with large white sheets. This was reportedly done to protect the process from public view, prevent crowd mobilization and minimize any commotion as he was escorted off stage.
The sources said that the removal process was carried out through a three-level security arrangement.
On the first tier, plainclothes officers secured the stage and moved Wangchuk out of the protest area. The second tier consisted of personnel from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Rapid Action Force (RAF), who pushed back the protesters outside the barricaded area to prevent confrontations.
The third tier comprises senior Delhi Police officers who monitor the operation from a vantage point near the ambulance and police vehicles.
Once Wangchuk was placed inside the ambulance, traffic police personnel ensured clear passage, allowing the vehicle to travel uninterrupted to Safdarjung Hospital, the sources added.
