Mumbai-based activist and ASIF delegation allege detention by State police
All India Students’ Federation (AISF) members alleged that police attempted to arbitrarily detain a student delegation travelling aboard the 12779 Goa Express from Pune to New Delhi.
On October 8, 2026, Mumbai-based activist Guddi alleged that she and fellow activist Salim Saboowala were detained by Mumbai Police on the condition that they would remain in the city. The special protest called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and left groups the following day aimed to scrap the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and remove Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
AISF members also accused police of attempting to arbitrarily detain a student delegation aboard the Goa Express from Pune to New Delhi. Police reportedly barged into the train compartment and forcefully attempted to deboard the students without any legal basis. AISF condemned the detention as "unconstitutional and unlawful." The CJP also reported that Instagram accounts of their supporters had been taken down.
Meanwhile, another delegation traveling from Pune to Delhi was detained by the Madhya Pradesh Police in Itarsi. The Mumbai Police has yet to comment on the reported incidents.
