Thackeray Promises Free Legal Help to Those Arrested in Jan‑G Protests

In a separate statement, Thackeray announced that his office will extend free legal assistance to any individual in Maharashtra who has been booked under FIRs linked to the Jan‑G demonstrations. He urged the authorities to share the names of those detained so that his team can arrange counsel without any cost to the protesters. Thackeray framed the movement as a student‑driven initiative aimed at safeguarding educational integrity and stressed that legal support will be provided to prevent any further persecution of participants.
