The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) near Jantar Mantar saw increased tensions on Sansad Marg, with clashes between protesters and police. Protest leaders claimed that police placed a damaged car near the site, suggesting provocation or intimidation. Security measures were heightened, including the closure of 16 metro stations and deployment of police forces in the area. Fresh clashes on Wednesday, 22 July, resulted in injuries to five police personnel. The CJP also reported an internet shutdown and raised concerns about the damaged car's presence.
Activist Sonam Wangchuk stated that the Centre had assured positive consideration of parliamentary discussions on paper leaks. However, he said he would end his hunger strike only after receiving firm assurance that no protesters or students face legal action. Earlier, the protest site remained largely peaceful, but the day's developments reinforced growing unrest surrounding ongoing demands.
