Crowd protests in Goa pressure police to act
In Goa, mob protests outside police stations have increased, impacting police operations and morale. Crowds have pressured officers to register cases, sometimes forcing police to act against their initial reluctance. The trend began in October 2024, when hundreds demanded action against a former RSS leader. Since then, protests have occurred over various issues, including noise pollution and road accidents, leading to police arrests and investigations. Most recently, a large crowd gathered in Panaji, demanding an FIR against an activist for allegedly insulting a faith leader. The police complied and registered the FIR, reflecting the ongoing influence of mob pressure on law enforcement.
