A day after cracking down on the Mumbai Bagh protesters, the police are now going after fruit sellers and locals distributing food and water to the anti-CAA demonstrators on Morland Road.

The police on Thursday served notices to several people under the CrPC and warned that they would be held equally responsible if something goes wrong at Mumbai Bagh. A local fruit seller, Ayyaz Shaikh, told mid-day that he was served notice under Section 149 (police to prevent cognizable offences) of Code Of Criminal Procedure on Thursday for selling bananas to one of the visitors, who wanted to distribute the fruit among protesters on Sunday. Shaikh fears he may face police action after the protest is over.
