Tushar Gandhi Detained Ahead of Mumbai Protest Supporting CJP Against CEC
Tushar Gandhi, great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, planned to lead a protest at Mumbai's August Kranti Maidan on October 10 in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party's demonstration in Delhi demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. Mumbai Police detained Gandhi and other activists before the protest, citing lack of permission and a Bombay High Court order restricting protests at the venue. Despite detentions, organisers urged supporters to continue the demonstration, emphasizing the need to safeguard democratic values and free elections.
