Facing the camera, Zayn showed marks on her arm, fingers, and legs. In the caption, she wrote, “she exposes (the state) on the internet. Imran smiled and did the peace out sign. Meanwhile, Lekha shared a video on her Instagram where she detailed, “The cops are not letting us go home. We are randomly walking on the road. They are not letting us catch any car or any vehicle to go home.
She then said, “Do not scare us so much that no fear is left in the first place. In another video, she said, “I am trying to say that we are all safe, we are all fine and we are all on our way home. Zayn did a fun video inside the police van where she asked Imran if he has ever been to jail to which he smiled and said that there are chances now with what is happening.
On Sunday, Zayn has shared a new reel on Instagram where she showed the injury marks on her body after facing detention. On Saturday, Zayn shared a picture from inside the police van, seated beside Imran and Lekha, with the caption, “INQUILAAB ZINDABAAD.
However, CJP workers claimed they had emailed the Mumbai Police seeking permission but had received no response. The actor’s detention comes amid police action at August Kranti Maidan, where authorities have detained more than 400 people, according to the Mumbai Police.
Mumbai Police said no permission had been sought for the protest in support of the CJP. They also said they could not grant permission, as the Bombay high court’s directions allow protests to be held only at Azad Maidan.
