MUMBAI, Sept. 20 -- The Bandra police searched the homes of several people associated with Indian People in Solidarity with Palestine (IPSP) on Thursday after videos surfaced on social media showing a group flying kites and displaying Palestinian flags and posters near Otters Club in Bandra West on September 15. The gathering was part of the Global Gaza Kite Weekend, an international campaign held between September 11 and 15 that involved flying kites as a symbolic expression of solidarity with children in Gaza. IPSP, in a statement, alleged that Mumbai Police raided the house of pro-Palestine activist Harshada Borade on September 18 without issuing her any notice or obtaining a warrant before conducting the search. The police said the organisers had not obtained permission for the gathering and that their teams questioned the people involved and searched their homes for material, including books and other items, following the social media posts. The police also said a spot memorandum, or panchnama, was being prepared for the material found during the searches. "We questioned them and even checked their houses in Vakola for any material like books or any other material. Whatever was found is being analysed and a panchnama is being done," a police officer said. According to IPSP, the books examined during the search included works on freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and social reformer Savitribai Phule. The group said the search began at around 5.30pm and ended at around 2am. "They checked all books, removed my personal diaries and even books. They even handcuffed my friends who had come to my home as guests. There are several books at my home as I am an artist," she said. "They took our phones and checked them," Borade added. A senior Mumbai Police official said the allegations were being examined....
