Mumbai Police Denies Cockroach Janta Party Protest Permission at Shivaji Park
Mumbai Police has denied permission to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) to hold a protest at Shivaji Park on October 2, citing legal restrictions from a 2013 Bombay High Court judgment and a 2016 Maharashtra government order. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke criticized the decision, calling it suppression of citizens' voices and threatened a Jail Bharo Andolan on Gandhi Jayanti if the protest is not allowed. The police advised the group to seek alternative venues for their demonstration.
