CJP Protest Update: Mumbai Police have registered multiple First Information Reports (FIRs) against more than 900 people in connection with protests organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at various locations across the city. The cases, spread across eight police stations, relate to allegations of unauthorised demonstrations and violations of law and order. The legal action follows a series of protests staged by CJP supporters in different parts of Mumbai.

First FIR Registered Over Chaityabhoomi Protest

The first case was registered after a CJP demonstration at Chaityabhoomi in Dadar, where more than 50 protesters were named in the FIR.

According to sources, the gathering allegedly took place without obtaining the necessary permissions from the authorities, leading police to initiate legal proceedings. The protest marked the beginning of a wider crackdown on demonstrations linked to the party across Mumbai.

More Than 900 Protesters Named Across 8 Police Stations

The action has since expanded, with Mumbai Police registering eight separate FIRs covering protests held at different locations in the city. Among the police stations, Shivaji Park recorded the highest number of cases, with more than 600 people booked. Mahim police station registered cases against over 100 individuals, while Dadar police station booked more than 70 protesters.

Sion police station also initiated legal action, registering cases against over 40 people in connection with the demonstrations.

Additional Cases Registered At Other Police Stations

Legal action has also been taken at several other police stations across Mumbai.

Worli police station registered cases against 21 people, while Kalachowki and Bhoiwada police stations each booked more than 20 individuals. Wadala TT police station also registered a case involving more than 25 protesters.

Police officials said the FIRs relate to demonstrations held at multiple locations during the course of the protest movement. They added that investigations are continuing and indicated that further legal action may be taken if required.

The protests are part of the ongoing agitation led by the Cockroach Janta Party, with demonstrations being held in several cities over recent days. Mumbai Police have maintained that action has been initiated in accordance with the law wherever protests were allegedly conducted without the required authorisation.
