The Azad Maidan police on Monday registered an FIR against LGBT activist Urvashi Chudawala and 50 unidentified people for shouting slogans in favour of Sharjeel Imam, who was recently arrested by Delhi police for sedition, at the Queer Pride March 2020 last week.

The police identified Chudawala, a member of TISS Queer Collective, in the video of the event that had gone viral. They have booked them on sedition charges for supporting the JNU student who faces sedition charges in five states.
