Mumbai police, and authorities in other Indian states, are employing contentious tactics to suppress the growing “Cockroach Janata Party” (CJP) protests. Beyond traditional methods like lathi charges and tear gas, police are now conducting home visits to intimidate student and youth protesters. Authorities are reportedly demanding live location data via WhatsApp, raising privacy concerns and accusations of overreach. This unprecedented approach aims to quell widespread demonstrations, but has sparked criticism regarding civil liberties and police conduct. The CJP movement appears to be rapidly spreading across India, prompting the escalated response from law enforcement. Critics argue these tactics represent a significant erosion of democratic freedoms and the right to peaceful assembly. The situation remains tense as protests continue and concerns about surveillance mount.
