00:00And the scene's happening outside the Parliament Street police station at the moment where CJP team has already reached
00:06and CJP has sought the arrest of activist Vatantra Bharadwaj, seeking attempt to murder case on the activist.
00:13CJP has said, book Vatantra Bharadwaj for attempt to murder.
00:17Congress's legal team that is also assisting Nishu Azad.
00:22After Rahul Gandhi's social media post, the Congress legal team that swung into action,
00:26according to sources that tell India today that the Congress's legal team is also at the Parliament Street police station
00:33at the moment.
00:34Watch those pictures as there is heavy barricading, heightened security at the Parliament Street police station
00:40where Nishu Azad along with Chandrasekhar Azad, her father Sanjay Kumar, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka of the CJP,
00:48all five inside the police station talking to the top cops as they demand action against Vatantra Bharadwaj.
00:55Also saying, we will seek pressing of hate speech section, habitual offender and SCST atrocities act into the FIR.
01:04Remember, all of this is coming in from sources at the moment because as we understand that all five are
01:09inside the police station
01:11talking with the top cops.
01:13So, there has been no follow-up thereafter to whether they have reached any conclusions so far.
01:18But as we understand, the situation is getting tense.
01:21Congress's legal team that is also helping Nishu Azad seeking immediate arrest of Swatantra Bharadwaj for attacking Nishu's father.
01:29Listen in to all the responses that have come in so far.
01:59This is a problem, no.
02:01This is a problem of the police station.
02:02foreign
02:08foreign
02:12I am glad that we must give this advice to us.
02:21In this case, we will not be able to give this advice to us.
02:29We will not be able to give this advice.
02:33Our people with the parents, the family,
02:35they will be able to give this advice.
02:37The people with the family,
02:38they will be able to arrest the police.
02:48Let me take this to my colleagues, Anshul Singh and Aishwarya Paliwal, who are reporting from outside the Parliament Street
02:55Police Station, getting us the very latest.
02:56Anshul, if I could quickly come to you, because you've been there for the last couple of hours.
03:00At the moment, we understand five of those individuals I named, who are inside the police station, talking to the
03:06top cops.
03:06Are they out yet? Any resolution? What more are you picking up?
03:14So, at this point in time, no resolution has been reached upon.
03:17In fact, what we are being told by the way of sources is that the meeting is actually happening with
03:21the SHO of the Parliament Street Police Station at this point.
03:23And if I could just give you a sense of the visuals outside Parliament Street Police Station.
03:27On one hand, there are these barricades that have been put up.
03:29The police personals are deployed inside the barricades, whereas the supporters of the CJP are sitting on a dhanda outside
03:36these barricades over here.
03:38So, the meeting has started.
03:39Five-member delegation has gone inside, which includes the 14-year-old girl, Nishu Azad.
03:46And they are having a meeting with the SHO of the Parliament Street Police Station.
03:50If at all no resolution is reached in this meeting, then other senior officials of the Delhi Police, that could
03:56be an additional DCP rank or a DCP rank officer, could also go ahead and speak with them and try
04:02to make them understand as to what kind of action has been taken.
04:05And what are the reasons, due to which Section 109 of the BNS has not been added in the FIR?
04:11Will the CJP workers and the other people be convinced of these arguments?
04:16That is something that only time will tell.
04:17But yes, the Delhi Police is trying to tell them that requisite legal action that was mandated by the law
04:22has already been taken.
04:24Now, since the accused has come himself and made certain claims, it needs to be ascertained if at all these
04:31claims can be substantiated with evidences.
04:33And that is something that the Delhi Police will now further have to work on and ascertain if at all
04:38the claims that have been made from the side of Sotantar Bhardwaj.
04:41These claims are actually factual in nature.
04:44And if at all these claims turn out to be factual, then we can definitely expect some serious action that
04:48could be taken from the side of the Delhi Police.
04:51Oh yes, absolutely.
04:53But let's not forget the political color that this entire story has taken.
04:56Aishwarya, I want to come to you for that because as we understand, CJP standing rock solid with both the
05:03father and the daughter at the moment.
05:05We also have the Congress legal team that has swung to action after Rahul Gandhi extended support.
05:11All of them together amping up pressure against the cops to answer on what has happened.
05:18And just a short while ago, we also saw Chandra Shekharaza join in.
05:21In fact, Aishwarya details just coming in of how the meeting between Delhi Police and CJP leaders Ashutosh Ranka and
05:28Swarabdas has begun.
05:29The delegation is accompanied by Nishu Azad, her father Sanjay Azad and MP Chandrasekhar.
05:35The meeting that is happening with the SHO Parliament Street at this point.
05:39Exactly what Anshil confirmed with us a short while ago.
05:42Meanwhile, Aishwarya, all of them amping up pressure against the Delhi Police.
05:49Well, definitely, you know, we are also seeing a political colour being given to this entire protest that we are
05:56seeing taking place at this moment right outside the Parliament Street's police station.
06:00Barely two kilometres away from the Indian Parliament and 200 metres away from where the protests took place, the CJP
06:07protests took place at Jantar Mantar.
06:09See, we are seeing how it is Chandrasekhar Azad who is putting his full might behind Nishu Azad.
06:15He is inside. There is a conversation which is taking place.
06:17In fact, let me tell you, the reason why the legal team of the Congress Party is inside is because
06:22there was a direct appeal which was being made by Nishu.
06:25She had put out a tweet in which she had said that she is requesting Rahul Gandhi to support her
06:30and to stand behind her.
06:31That's the reason why you are seeing the Congress Party and the leadership from the Congress Party also inside.
06:36In fact, Rahul Gandhi, let me tell you, had quoted her tweet and said that we will stand behind you.
06:41This is something which is not acceptable. And he also directly asked questions of the Prime Minister and of the
06:46Home Minister and said that this is the condition of the law and order situation in our country.
06:50What is the government doing? They need to take strict and stern action as soon as possible.
06:56This also, let me tell you, Suisha, you know, from what it looks like at the moment, I'm standing right
07:00outside the police station.
07:01First, I'll tell you the kind of barricading that has, in fact, been done.
07:06The main gate of the police station, this is the place from where all five of them had gone inside.
07:11You can see policemen in large numbers, all of them standing outside, making sure that the protesters do not enter
07:17the police station.
07:18Because if that happens, then it will be a law and order situation right in the heart of the national
07:22capital.
07:23The barricades have been put out.
07:24The protesters are on one side of the barricade and the policemen are on the other side of the barricade.
07:30But politics also is now being played, Suisha, and it's pretty evident.
07:33We did see those visuals of the CGP top leadership, in fact, going and meeting Akhilesh Yadav,
07:38keeping an eye on the 2027 state elections that will take place in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
07:43And now we are seeing the opposition uniting once again behind the CGP and behind the atrocities,
07:49the alleged atrocities that people are saying have been committed.
07:53Aishwara, stay on, because let's explain to our viewers in detail about this man, Svatantra Bhardwaj.
07:59Why his actions are under scrutiny and what exactly he has claimed.
08:04Coming across as nothing short of a goon, but calling himself an activist,
08:10the dispute started over a particular video recording, a podcast interview that he gave,
08:14where he spoke about what had happened in Jantar Mantar.
08:17He spoke about the incident that happened on June 23rd at Jantar Mantar,
08:22where Svatantra confronted Sanjay Kumar, who is the father of Nishu Azad,
08:27over that particular recording.
08:29Svatantra said that his aides had assaulted Sanjay Kumar.
08:33He's admitted to that.
08:35He said that Sanjay was hit by Svatantra's kada, which is the metal bangle that he was wearing.
08:41Cops, meanwhile, had arrested two and one accused had fled.
08:46Svatantra Bhardwaj, Suraj Kumar had been named as the accused.
08:50Sanjay Kumar, the man in question, the victim, who was taken to the hospital for his medical test.
08:58The medical report that claimed that he had two head wounds.
09:01The case that had been filed for hurt, wrongful restraint.
09:05Now, remember, this is according to the FIR.
09:08I want to take this back to my colleague, Aishwarya, who's been tracking all the developments,
09:12because Aishwarya, like we understand, this man, Svatantra Bhardwaj,
09:16has made some very, very controversial statements,
09:19has been projecting himself as though he's above the law,
09:23and certainly needs to be taught a lesson.
09:25Meanwhile, in-depth investigation, that must happen,
09:28because he's been name-throwing of the BJP, of certain ministers and those in power,
09:34saying that he enjoys the privilege of knowing them.
09:43Well, definitely, you know, we have seen it's a video versus video war that has now taken place.
09:48We are seeing clarifications coming in from Sutantra Bhardwaj,
09:52very, very clearly saying that all that he did was in self-defense,
09:55and he also said that the reason why he became aggressive
09:58is because there were comments that were being made against India,
10:01there were comments that were being made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
10:04and he believes that there were comments being made against the Sanatana Dharma,
10:08and that's the reason why he got angry,
10:10but he also said that it was in self-defense,
10:12because had he not taken action, had he not stood up in self-defense,
10:16he's claiming that he would have been lynched.
10:19On the other side, we are seeing how the CJP is saying
10:21that when the government gave an assurance
10:24that there will be no action that will be taken against those who were protesting
10:27at the Jantar Mantar, there will be no action that will be taken
10:30against the family members of those who were protesting.
10:32Why is it that a man on video can say that,
10:35yes, he did assault the father of someone who, in fact, was protesting?
10:39The girl herself has come out, made a video,
10:42made an appeal to the LOP,
10:44the leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi,
10:46and now we can see the political color being given.
10:49The CJP, from what I understand, is also trying to make sure
10:52that they repeat what Rahul Gandhi did exactly a week back.
10:56Exactly a week back, Suisha, we saw Rahul Gandhi sitting right here
11:00for seven long hours, and later in the day,
11:02we also saw how Priyanka Gandhi-Wadra also accompanied him.
11:06They were sitting right outside the police station,
11:09and they were waiting for the FIR to be lodged.
11:11The CJP is hoping they will be able to repeat
11:14and come out victorious if the FIR is lodged.
11:18The meeting is, in fact, let me tell you,
11:19taking place inside the SHO,
11:21is listening to them and listening to the appeals
11:23that they have come here and they are making
11:25inside the police station.
