The case was registered at Gamdevi police station under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Among the 12 named accused are Tushar Gandhi, Shailendra Kamble, Prakash Reddy, and Imran Khan. Over 500 police personnel, including riot control units, were deployed near the protest site, with roads leading to the maidan barricaded to prevent protesters from reaching the location. Mr. Gandhi was detained while en route to the protest and taken to D.N. Nagar police station. The FIR also states that around 600 protesters were detained across the city, subsequently released, and the legal process is ongoing. The protest was organized by Hum Bharat Ke Log, a civil group led by Tushar Gandhi, in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party and Left groups' protest in Delhi, demanding the removal of the Chief Election Commissioner and others.",
