Two days after senior photojournalist Ashish Raje was assaulted by two policemen at Morland Road, while covering the protest by women at Nagpada against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the two officers – Assistant Police Inspector Ghanshyam Borse and Probationary Police Sub Inspector Azim Shaikh – who were posted at Nagpada police station, were on Saturday transferred to the police’s Central Region control room as a disciplinary move. A departmental enquiry has also been initiated in the matter.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap shared a video of police attacking photojournalist Ashish Raje at Mumbai Bagh, where women protesters have gathered to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR). He tagged Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in the post and said "it’s a silent peaceful protest".
