Tushar Gandhi, great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, was detained by Mumbai Police on October 10, 2026, while travelling to a planned protest at August Kranti Maidan in support of the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) demonstration in Delhi. Gandhi, who heads the civil society organisation Hum Bharat Ke Log, was detained in Bandra along with associates and taken to DN Nagar police station. The protest aimed to oppose alleged electoral irregularities and demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation. Gandhi claimed on social media that he had been arrested, but police maintained that he was detained, not formally arrested.
