Mumbai, 10 Oct (HS): The great grandson of Mahatma

Gandhi, Tushar Gandhi, was arrested while staging demonstrations at the August

Kranti Ground, Mumbai, in support of CJP’s agitation.

A police officer stated that Tushar Gandhi was

arrested from Bandra suburb and taken to DN Nagar Police Station. Another

social activist Feroze Mithiborwala of ‘Hum Bharat Ke Log’ was also arrested from

his residence and taken to MIDC Police Station. Tushar Gandhi on social media

had appealed to the people to assemble to participate in the agitation led by

him.

The Gramdevi Police Station has not received any

request seeking permission for staging the said agitation. The Bombay High Court

has not permitted any agitation to be staged at the August Kranti Ground, based

on which the police initiated action against Tushar Gandhi and others.

CJP (Cockroach Janata Party) had planned agitation

at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar against the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar

and SIR (Special Intensive Revision) alleging irregularities in it. CJP has

also raised changes in Form 6 for registration of voters.

Mumbai police have arrested Tushar Gandhi before

staging any agitation, as a preventive measure.
