Legal petition cites POXo Act to file FIR against CJP leaders after alleged assault on child

Indore law enforcement received a petition demanding that an FIR be registered against CJP founder Abhijit Dipke and other party officials following an alleged assault on a minor during a Delhi protest. The petitioner, Faizan Ansari, references the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POXo) Act, arguing that the incident—where a 12‑year‑old girl was reportedly injured by police baton fire—falls under its jurisdiction. The protest, organized by Dipke on July 20, included under‑age participants. Police have stated that any further legal measures will hinge on the results of the complaint’s investigation.
