‘They were not granted permission’: Shivaji Park resident files complaint over CJP protest in Mumbai

A complaint has been filed by a Shivaji Park resident over a protest held by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Mumbai without permission. The protest, which demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, reportedly drew 4,500 to 5,000 people, according to the Mumbai Police and intelligence agencies.

The CJP, however, claimed that 35,000 to 40,000 people participated in the demonstration. The police are considering legal action against the CJP organisers and will seek legal advice before making a decision.

A complainant, who is a local resident, thanked the Mumbai police for their assurance of assistance and for helping her feel secure.
