Police on Saturday registered a first information report for the protests held at six places in the Mumbra area, an official said.

He said the protests took place on the afternoon of May 16 despite the prohibitory orders imposed under the Maharashtra Police Act.

The official said more than 100 people participated in the protests, disrupting traffic and violating lawful prohibitory orders.

"No permission was granted for this protest. The organisers went ahead, potentially disturbing communal harmony and law and order," he said.

 

The official said a case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) the Maharashtra Police Act, and three accused have been identified.

The agitation was held to protest an externment order against a local journalist, it was stated.
