More than 500 people gathered at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park in a demonstration backing the Cockroach Janta Party’s demands, a day after police had blocked an earlier attempt by the group to assemble.
The gathering proceeded despite the prior restriction, with organizers framing the turnout as a show of continued public support for the movement’s demands following the previous day’s police action. Police maintained a presence at the park during the demonstration, though there were no immediate reports of clashes.
The Mumbai gathering adds to a series of solidarity protests held across Indian cities in recent days in support of the CJP-linked movement.
The turnout at Shivaji Park, a traditional site for large political gatherings in Mumbai, signals the movement’s continued ability to mobilize supporters in cities beyond Delhi despite earlier restrictions on assembly.
