FIR Names Tushar Gandhi and Imran Khan

Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against Mahatma Gandhi’s great-grandson Tushar Gandhi, actor Imran Khan, activist Ali Bhojani and hundreds of others over a protest held in support of the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) agitation in Delhi.

Five Sections of BNS Invoked

According to reports, the FIR invokes five provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS): Sections 223, 126(2), 189(2), 189(3) and 189(5). These provisions concern disobedience of an order issued by a public servant, wrongful restraint and offences relating to unlawful assembly.

Reports state that 12 people have been named individually, along with approximately 350 others.

Police Say Protest Was Held Without Permission

Police said the demonstration had not received the required permission.

The gathering was intended to show solidarity with the CJP protest in Delhi, where demonstrators have demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities linked to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. These allegations remain contested.

Hundreds Were Detained, Later Released

Mumbai Police had detained hundreds of people amid preparations for the protest, including Tushar Gandhi and Imran Khan. Media reports said those detained were subsequently released. The FIR marks the next stage of legal proceedings connected with the gathering.

The registration of an FIR does not establish guilt. The case concerns alleged violations, and the allegations will be subject to the legal process.
