Mumbai Police Continue Summoning CJP Protesters Despite Withdrawal Assurance
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) had protests in Mumbai.
The government said they would not punish peaceful protesters.
But the police are still calling protesters to stations and asking questions.
The protesters and their lawyers are upset because they thought the cases would be dropped.
The police say they have to follow the rules and can only drop cases after they file all the paperwork.
The protesters want the government to stop the police from calling them in until the cases are officially dropped.
Mumbai Police continue issuing notices to protesters despite assurances from the Centre.
Protesters and advocates demand immediate halt to proceedings and withdrawal of all FIRs.
Police maintain they must follow procedure and cannot stop investigations midway.
Chargesheets must be filed before cases can be withdrawn, according to police.
Protesters and advocates met with Maharashtra DGP to request no fresh notices be issued.
