Imran Khan detained in Mumbai amid CJP protest; Prakash Raj, Anurag Kashyap slam crackdown
On October 10, actor Imran Khan was detained by Mumbai Police in front of the August Kranti Maidan, the intended location for a protest organized by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). Protesters in Delhi also faced a crackdown ahead of a demonstration at Jantar Mantar, where nearly 1,500 people were reportedly arrested. Critics from the film industry, including Prakash Raj, Anurag Kashyap, and Vishal Dadlani, condemned the police actions.
Khans social media post, captioned "Apparently I’m going for a drive," illustrated his detainment. Mumbai Police stated that they could not grant permission for the protest as Bombay High Court rulings only permit demonstrations at Azad Maidan.
