Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has filed a police complaint against Abhijit Iyer-Mitra and an unidentified individual, alleging a criminal conspiracy to disrupt public order and discredit a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
According to the complaint, an individual entered the June 6 protest and allegedly made controversial remarks while interacting with journalists and members of the public on camera.
CJP claims the comments, which allegedly included support for breaking up India, were aimed at provoking outrage and falsely linking the protest with anti-national views.
The complaint cites a social media post by Iyer-Mitra, in which he said he had 'sent' a man to the protest venue, and identifies the man as Mayank Bhandari.
CJP spokesperson Saurav Das alleged that the objective was to disrupt a peaceful gathering, inflame public sentiment and create conditions that could potentially lead to a law-and-order situation.
Das also urged supporters of the organisation to remain vigilant during future demonstrations.
