Pro-Palestinian activists protested in Mumbai after police raided the home of a volunteer who had taken part in a kite-flying event held in solidarity with Gaza.
The raid targeted an individual connected to the organization of the event, drawing criticism from activists who viewed the police action as a disproportionate response to a peaceful demonstration of solidarity.
The protest reflects broader tensions in India around public expressions of support for Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with activists arguing that such events should not attract law enforcement scrutiny.
Details on the specific legal grounds cited for the raid, as well as any charges that may have been filed against the volunteer, were not immediately available.
