A first information report has been filed against the organisers of the Shivaji Park protest and an estimated 400‑500 unidentified participants, with Aditya Thackeray describing the gathering as a voice of democracy.
Mumbai police have lodged a first information report (FIR) against the individuals who organized the recent protest at Shivaji Park, as well as against an estimated 400 to 500 participants whose identities remain unknown. The FIR cites violations of public order statutes and alleges that the gathering disrupted normal activities in the area.
The protest, which drew a sizable crowd to the historic Dadar landmark, was reportedly coordinated by members associated with the CJP group.

The incident was reported by Amar Ujala, which highlighted both the legal action taken and Thackeray's remarks. No arrests have been publicly confirmed, and the investigation remains ongoing.
