Cinema VinesIn a dramatic turn of events, Mumbai police almost detained influencer Uorfi Javed and her sisters as they were preparing to join a protest in the city on Wednesday. The trio, who had been rehearsing their outfits and coordinating their appearance, were stopped by officers near Shivaji Nagar. Uorfi posted a clip on Instagram describing how the police prevented them from entering the protest venue, stating that people were simply gathering peacefully and were taken away without any explanation.
Uorfi’s account echoes similar reports from other activists. Actress Ayesha Khan recounted being force‑dragged into a van by several women, refusing to comply but ultimately being taken from Dadar to Worli without any answers about why they were detained. Both stories highlight a pattern of police action that has been criticized for stifling peaceful demonstrations.
These incidents come amid a broader wave of protests that began in Delhi, where the Cockroach Janta Party staged demonstrations at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged NEET irregularities. The protests have spread to multiple cities, with Delhi police filing six FIRs over alleged violence and vandalism during a march at Parliament Street and Connaught Place.
In Mumbai, the protests have been ongoing for three days, with participants calling for accountability and transparency. The police’s aggressive tactics, including detaining people without clear reasons, have drawn criticism from activists and the public alike. As the movement continues, organizers and participants remain vigilant, hoping for a peaceful resolution and a fair response from authorities.
