The Maharashtra Congress alleged that police early on Monday (October 5, 2026) stopped several tribal students who had come to Mumbai to stage a protest at Azad Maidan demanding the resignation of the tribal development minister and detained them.

The students' voices could not be silenced through threats, the Opposition party said, asserting that it would stand with tribal students in the "fight for their legitimate rights".
