Goa Police Deny Protest Permission, Detain CJP Members Citing Past Violations and Umar Khalid Support
Goa police denied permission for a Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest at Azad Maidan, Panaji, citing past violations and the presence of a protester supporting activist Umar Khalid during a July NEET-related protest. Seven CJP members were detained during the October 11 protest but were ordered released by the Bombay High Court, which questioned the legality of the detention. The police defended their actions before the court, citing the group's history of unauthorized protests and alleged patronage of Khalid.
