New Delhi, Oct 8 – The Central Justice Party (CJP) has lodged a complaint alleging that Rajasthan police detained its spokesperson in the days leading up to a scheduled protest on October 10. According to the party, the arrest took place without a warrant and was intended to disrupt the planned demonstration.

The upcoming protest is part of a broader movement organized by the CJP to demand reforms in the state's law‑and‑order policies. The party has warned that any further interference could lead to heightened tensions.
The incident adds to a growing list of disputes between political groups and law‑enforcement agencies across the country as elections approach.
