Swatantra Bharadwaj Flees Before Police Can Arrest

New Delhi: Shortly after the Delhi Police informed the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) that they would apprehend Swatantra Bharadwaj, who is accused of attacking a student's father during a protest at Jantar Mantar, he managed to escape from Bulandshahr before law enforcement arrived, according to police sources on Friday.

Bharadwaj reportedly left Naithla village riding a Bullet motorcycle and wore a helmet to hide his identity, as per the authorities.

Multiple undercover police teams were dispatched to find him, and during their investigation, they also spoke with local journalists. The search for Bharadwaj continues as efforts are being made to locate and capture him.

Bharadwaj, who identifies himself as a 'kattar Hindu' (hardline Hindu), gained notoriety on social media after a video surfaced in which he admitted to having 'cracked the skull' of Nishu Azad's father during the protest.

The CJP organized a demonstration in the capital on Friday, gathering at the Parliament Street police station to demand action against Bharadwaj.

Protesters were assured by police that he would be taken into custody within 72 hours.
