The Chennai police have filed an FIR against 38 leaders of Islamic organisations and 15,000 others for taking part in a massive rally against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) on Wednesday, without permission.
The rally was taken out under the banner of the Federation of Tamil Nadu Islamic and Political Organisations on Wallajah Road despite a Madras High Court ban.
Thousands turned up for the rally, demanding that the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly pass a resolution against the CAA, NRC and NPR.
A case was booked under Section 143 (Unlawful assembly) and provisions of the Madras City Police Act by the Trplicane police.
