Mumbai Police File FIR Against CJP Leaders Over Unauthorized Shivaji Park Rally

The Mumbai Police Department has filed a case against CJP (Communist Party of India) leaders and supporters in connection with a protest held at Shivaji Park without official authorization. The FIR was registered after the organization's representative, Ajinkya Shinde, proceeded with the rally despite being denied permission by the authorities.

According to police records, Shinde had submitted a request to organize the demonstration at the prominent public venue but was denied clearance by the Mumbai Police. Despite this refusal, the protest was conducted, prompting law enforcement to take action against those involved.

The registration of the FIR marks an escalation in tensions between the civic administration and activist groups over the use of public spaces for demonstrations. The case highlights the ongoing procedural requirements that organizers must follow when planning public gatherings in the city.

Authorities have not disclosed the specific charges invoked in the FIR or whether any arrests have been made. The matter remains under investigation by the Mumbai Police.
