Cockroach Janta Party Volunteers Detained in Haryana Amid CET Protests

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leader Sudhir Sangwan alleged that several party volunteers were detained or placed under house arrest across Haryana ahead of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s visit to Hisar on October 1, 2026. The detentions followed the CJP’s support for students protesting the Common Eligibility Test (CET).

CJP members reported being held without prior notice or legal explanation, including an instance where an office-bearer was detained while seeking a colleague's release. Meanwhile, protesting students met with Chief Minister Saini and received verbal assurances, leading them to postpone their agitation until December 6, 2026.

Editor's note: The article is accurate but omits significant context such as the specific reasons for the CET protests and the role of the 14-district memorandum campaign, which led to the detentions.
