Swatantra Bhardwaj, who broke a head during the Cockroach Janata Party movement at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, said that he had been supporting the movement from the beginning. He explained that suddenly a person recorded him and said objectionable things, which made him feel insulted and he reacted.

Swatantra Bhardwaj said that all three demands of the CJP were absolutely correct and he had come to support the movement from day one. He was a supporter of this movement from the start and had gone to Jantar Mantar with such intentions.

He explained that at Jantar Mantar, a person started recording with a camera pointed at him and said some objectionable things. Feeling insulted, he struck the person on the head.

Bhardwaj said that he even wears shoes of Delhi Police and is trained in NCC. He admitted that on the day of the 'Chalo Sansad' march, he had a Delhi Police baton in his hand, but did not reveal where the baton came from.

He claimed that when a video of two Delhi Police officers went viral, they must have received orders from above to bring them into civilian clothes. Every policeman was doing a lathi charge, and so was he. He said, "We came with batons and said that those are not policemen, the real goons are us. We did the lathi charge, whatever was to be done, was done."

Swatantra Bhardwaj also said that his purpose of going to the protest was not to oppose it. He said that later attempts were made to troll him based on his old videos.

He admitted that the person’s head was split due to the injury caused by the bracelet worn on his hand. Besides, he said that many people had tried to attack him there earlier.

The police have investigated against him and issued him a notice under Section 41 of the CrPC. He said that whenever the police call him to cooperate in the investigation, he will go.

Swatantra Bhardwaj has also threatened Abhijeet Deepak and Saurabh Das. He said, "Umar Khalid, Abhijeet Deepak, Saurabh Bhardwaj or Neha Bora, whichever protest they go to, we will be ready to welcome them there. We will treat them."

Describing himself as a Gau Rakshak, anti-Muslim and against caste-based reservation, he said that the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan, the withdrawal of FIRs against protesters, and the demand for compensation to families of students who died due to the NEET paper leak were completely justified.

Bhardwaj said that when comments against Premanand Maharaj and Dhirendra Krishna Shastri started, he became against the movement. He said, "We were not going to the CJP protest because their issues and all three demands of the CJP were correct. We went there but there were Umar Khalid, Kejriwal’s entire strategy, 'Brahminism Murdabad', 'RSS Murdabad'..."

After that, when he asked to turn off the camera, an argument ensued and during this he fell after stepping on a dustbin.

Sudhir Jha, senior digital journalist and editorial leader, said that Swatantra Bhardwaj has gained over 15 years of experience in print and digital media in his career. He is currently working as an assistant editor at a leading digital platform and handles coverage of several states.

He has expertise in news writing and analysis on topics related to politics, crime, and administration. Sudhir Jha has also received several awards for outstanding contribution in digital journalism.
