Footfall, food, logistics: Tracking it all in a day at Cockroach Janta Party’s protest

Who is funding the Cockroach Janata Party protest at Jantar Mantar? How many people are actually showing up? And is the movement really dominated by one political ideology?

Social media is replete with claims. Some say only a few dozen people are attending, others insist the crowds are massive. Questions about funding and political affiliations are just as common.

To separate fact from speculation, we spent an entire day at the protest site. We counted footfall, spoke to participants, observed the police response, and traced where the food, money, and support are coming from.

Watch this ground report to see what the protest really looks like beyond the social media noise.
