India, Oct. 15 -- The Delhi High Court on Thursday declined to restrain the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), led by founder Abhijeet Dipke, from holding a protest at Central Park in Connaught Place on Friday, October 16, over alleged electoral fraud.

The court took on record the Delhi Police's assurance that it would take "all possible measures under the law" to regulate and control the gathering.

It was not immediately clear whether the closure would also prevent CJP protesters from entering the premises.

The development comes amid escalating protests over alleged electoral irregularities and the controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
