Supreme Court Orders Review of Detentions Amid Protests in Delhi
More than 700 individuals have been detained in Delhi as protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar continue for a second day. The detentions occurred amid heavy police presence, particularly in central Delhi, where demonstrators were forcibly removed from the streets. The protests stem from allegations of irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The Supreme Court has emphasized the necessity of lawful detentions. Meanwhile, the Cockroach Janta Party, whose leaders were also detained, plans to continue their protests and seek permission for further demonstrations. Police have been deployed in significant numbers across the city to manage the situation.
