The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Saturday (October 3, 2026) took cognisance of allegations that minors were involved in a Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protest in Mumbai on Friday (October 2, 2026) and that their images were circulated online.

The commission said it had received complaints from Sewa Nyaya Utthan Foundation and another organisation, citing posts on X allegedly showing a young child being held above a crowd carrying the National Flag and a placard, while slogans were raised and people recorded the child.

The complainants alleged that persons associated with the Cockroach Janta Party had involved minors in the protest and called for the roles of the organisers, accompanying adults and others who facilitated their participation to be examined.
