The Delhi Police Crime Branch has begun a probe into the violence at the July 20 Cockroach Janta Party march.
It will examine whether the violence was premeditated or criminal elements infiltrated the march.
Police used facial recognition to identify 2,873 suspects with criminal backgrounds, according to police sources.
More than 250 videos have been reviewed.
The probe is ongoing, and no findings have been reported.
The Delhi Police Crime Branch has registered a case under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita over the violence during the Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, protest on July 20.
The reports are dated October 8, 2026, and cite police sources quoted by the Asian News International.
Several FIRs were filed at the Parliament Street and Connaught Place police stations, according to The Week.
The probe will examine whether the violence was premeditated or whether criminal elements infiltrated the march after the CJP called for it.
Police are also checking whether WhatsApp or Telegram groups were used to mobilise people, according to The Week.
The alleged offences include assaults on police personnel, vandalism and damage to public property, including police vehicles.
They also include obstructing government employees and snatching police equipment such as jackets and helmets.
Police used facial recognition data to identify 2,873 suspects with criminal backgrounds, according to the police sources quoted.
The reports do not say how many of those suspects were involved in specific acts, and they do not say how many have been arrested or charged.
A criminal background does not by itself show that a person took part in the violence, and individual roles are still being examined.
Investigators have reviewed more than 250 videos, including mobile phone recordings, CCTV, drone visuals and police body-worn camera footage, according to The Week.
The July 20 Sansad Chalo march demanded the resignation of the then Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG paper leak.
