CJP protest in Goa: Police detain several demonstrators, block entry to Azad Maidan
PANAJI: (Oct 11) Goa police on Sunday detained several protesters who were heading to the Cockroach Janta party’s agitation against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar here, cracking down on them before the demonstration could even begin.

Authorities rounded up dozens of demonstrators as they arrived at Azad Maidan, and stopped senior figures, including former Allahabad High Court Chief Justice Ferdin Rebello, from entering the venue and forcing the protest onto the adjacent main road.

Several protesters, including CJP leader Amreen Shaikh, were taken into custody.
