Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] December 26 (ANI): The Mumbai Police on Tuesday registered an FIR against five women, including journalist Priyanka Borpujari, over an incident where locals tried to stop the police and Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials from demolishing illegal encroachments.

The police said that the journalist was trying to incite people against the officials during a demolition drive.
