“A video shows municipal vehicles deliberately dumping garbage on Delhi roads to block CJP protesters from reaching the protest site.”

The claim that municipal vehicles were used to dump garbage on Delhi roads to block Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protesters is false. Investigations by independent fact-checking organizations, including BOOM, have traced the viral video to Panipat, Haryana. The footage shows sanitation workers staging a protest and dumping garbage at Samidhan Chowk on GT Road on August 17, 2026. While the CJP and various social media users shared the video as evidence of government obstruction in Delhi, there is no factual basis linking this specific event to the protest site at Jantar Mantar. The confusion likely stemmed from the high-tension environment surrounding the CJP protests, which were marked by heavy security, barricading, and separate, unrelated reports of waste accumulation at the Jantar Mantar site due to the disruption of regular municipal services.
