Hundreds of volunteers of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), along with other citizens and workers, were brought from multiple locations across Delhi to Chhatrasal Stadium in Model Town on Saturday (October 10, 2026), where they were being held, according to those present at the venue.
Buses carrying the group were taken directly into the stadium premises. No formal administrative process had begun hours after people were brought in, with many left waiting inside the ground.

“All are here because the system wants us silenced, but holding thousands in a stadium doesn’t break our resolve,” Vijay Mallangi, one of those held, said, referring to the security clampdown.
According to those inside, security personnel were largely carrying out transit and guarding duties, and force was used to stop movement, running or group mobilisation within the venue, though no physical beatings were reported. Slogans continued to be raised periodically inside the stadium.
