Overview
- The Cockroach Janta Party paused its 36‑day sit‑in after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned on Saturday, but leaders say the halt is conditional on written assurances from the government.
- CJP leaders have demanded a written copy of the July 25 agreement and warned they will resume nationwide agitation if FIRs are not withdrawn and detained protesters are not released by Tuesday.
- The Bihar government ordered the withdrawal of FIRs registered before 6 p.m. on July 26 and directed the immediate release of those arrested, a move the CJP hailed as a victory.
- Delhi Police say they have analysed CCTV and facial‑recognition footage and identified 2,873 people present at Jantar Mantar, of whom 989 have prior criminal records including 101 linked to murder cases.
- Protesters have launched a legal‑aid portal and senior lawyer Kapil Sibal pledged funds, while authorities have stepped up deployments and surveillance, a mix that will shape whether the movement restarts and how legal disputes are resolved.
