Imran Khan Detained at Mumbai Protest Supporting CJP Demonstration

Actor Imran Khan was detained by police during a protest in Mumbai.

The protest supported a Cockroach Janata Party demonstration planned in New Delhi.

The party wants Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign over alleged problems with voter-list changes.

Police said the Mumbai gathering did not have permission and that protests were allowed only at Azad Maidan.

CJP supporters said they had asked police for permission by email but got no answer.

Reports said more than 400 people were detained around Mumbai.

Khan posted a selfie that seemed to show him inside a police van.

He had previously spoken in support of protestors and their right to express opinions.
