Mumbai Police Detain Tushar Gandhi Ahead of Protest Supporting CJP Against CEC
Mumbai police detained activist Tushar Gandhi, great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, and others ahead of a planned protest at August Kranti Maidan supporting the Cockroach Janata Party's demonstration in Delhi against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Authorities cited lack of official permission and a Bombay High Court order restricting protests at the site. Despite detentions, organizers urged supporters to continue the protest, highlighting concerns over alleged voter-list manipulation and electoral roll revisions. Police maintained preventive measures to uphold law and order.
