Founder of India’s Gen-Z ‘Cockroach’ movement detained ahead of planned protest, party says
- On Saturday, October 10, Delhi Police enforced a massive security lockdown, denying permission for the Cockroach Janta Party protest at Jantar Mantar. Authorities deployed more than 35,000 security personnel, closed 57 metro stations, and suspended mobile internet services.
- Demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, the CJP and critics allege the Election Commission's 'special intensive revision' dropped over 130 million names from voter rolls, disenfranchising voters to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party .
- Police detained CJP leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka, and Saurav Das at Delhi airport on Saturday morning. Authorities canceled 38 trains and intercepted protesters nationwide, citing a 26-point undertaking violation from a previous demonstration.
- Thousands of protesters, including activists and opposition leaders, were detained across India to prevent convergence in Delhi. Despite Supreme Court directions to maintain regulated metro services, police intercepted demonstrators on routes to Jantar Mantar, effectively neutralizing the planned mobilization.
- The unrest challenges Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration ahead of critical 2027 state elections in Uttar Pradesh. As the CJP broadens its campaign, these protests test the BJP's electoral standing beyond the immediate Jantar Mantar demonstration.
