Mumbai police respond to claims raised by Abhijeet Dipke after permission for a planned protest is denied. Dipke posts about the denial, and the police reply addresses the status of the application and the reasons for not allowing the planned gathering.

The protest is linked to the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), which announces it will stage a demonstration against the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The party says it set a deadline of September 26 for the chief election commissioner to step down, and it plans to protest if the demand is not met. Across the outlet coverage, the central focus is on the police position regarding protest permission, while the political group frames the development as part of its broader dispute with the election authorities.

NDTV reports the police reaction as part of the dispute over whether the protest can proceed as scheduled, without offering details in the provided text beyond the denial and the response to Dipke’s post.
