Founder of India’s Gen-Z ‘Cockroach’ movement detained ahead of planned protest, party says
- On Saturday, Delhi authorities deployed over 35,000 police and paramilitary personnel to enforce a massive security lockdown, blocking the Cockroach Janta Party's planned protest at Jantar Mantar. Police detained CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and two other leaders upon their arrival at the airport.
- Driven by allegations of electoral irregularities, the CJP organized this demonstration to demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over a "special intensive revision" of voter lists that removed more than 130 million names.
- Public transport faced significant disruptions as authorities suspended mobile internet within a 4 km radius, closed 57 metro stations, and Northern Railway cancelled 38 trains to prevent "unruly" mobs from reaching the capital.
- Thousands of protesters and journalists were detained across Delhi, while the Supreme Court directed authorities to ensure public transport services were not entirely suspended to minimize public inconvenience.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi faces a political challenge ahead of key state elections next year, including in Uttar Pradesh, as opposition groups continue to demand accountability over the voter list revision.
