In short

Supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party gathered at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan after activists were arrested. They held a peaceful tricolour march. The party also planned a rally in New Delhi at Central Park.

This matters because Delhi authorities said the park would be closed and police issued a prohibitory order there. The report does not say whether the Delhi rally went ahead.
