Activist Anjali Damania was part of the dozens of people detained on Sunday after they arrived at Shivaji Park in central Mumbai's Dadar area to participate in a protest in support of the Cockroach Janta Party, police official said. Damania was picked off near the iconic ground and moved to an undisclosed location in a private vehicle, the officials said. "As I reached Shivaji Park in support of CJP, police officers came in plainclothes and detained me. All the police personnel were in plain clothes, and I do not know where they are taking me," Damania told PTI.

Officials stated that most of those detained in the locality have been taken to Shivaji Park police station. Some have been taken to other nearby police stations, they added.
