Riya Ahir, a 27-year-old, stood in the rain soaked hoodie with outstretched arms to block a police van from moving. She remained in front of the van for around 40 minutes. The vehicle was carrying detained protestors who had taken part in the demonstrations, soaked in the rain, in Mumbai which was held in solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) agitation over alleged examination irregularities and the police crackdown on protesters in Delhi.
Ahir said she noticed the police vehicle carrying detained protesters when she was waiting for her friends before joining protests.
