NEW DELHI: The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Thursday has demanded the suspension of Additional DCP Sandeep Lamba following the circulation of a viral video purportedly showing him slapping a woman protester during the recent student demonstrations at Jantar Mantar.In a post on X, the official CJP account demanded strict action against the officer. “First, he needs to be suspended pending investigation and then charged for illegally assaulting a young peaceful protester,” it said.CJP also targeted Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, adding, “This is marginally more accountability than what Dharmendra Pradhan has faced even after 20 students died by suicide under his watch!”CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke earlier also alleged that Lamba had also assaulted activist Sonam Wanghchuk’s wife Geetanjali during the protest.”He is the same officer who climbed on the truck to hit Geetanjali Wangchuk before we all jumped in to save her. Later he grabbed her hair. Sandeep Lamba is not mentally fit to serve in the police,” Dipke claimed.Opposition demanded strict actionCongress general secretary KC Venugopal accused the Centre of sanctioning police excesses. “This is the true face of Amit Shah’s goons in uniform,” he wrote, alleging that police officers assaulted women students, removed their badges while beating protesters, and encouraged plain-clothed individuals to attack demonstrators.”This level of brazenness cannot happen without sanction from the very top. Amit Shah cannot continue in his post. He has blood on his hands,” Venugopal said.Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra also reacted strongly, saying the officer should face legal and social consequences. “No! He was not just doing his job! We need to name, shame and ensure social boycotts for each of these brutes and take them to court. First is Sandeep Lamba,” she posted, urging legal teams to begin proceedings against the officer.Fresh violence erupted during the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) protest in the national capital on Wednesday evening with large numbers of protesters gathered at the site.
