· India · India Today, The Hindu
Delhi police detained 150 protesters, including Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke and AISA president Neha Bora, during the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march in Connaught Place. Security personnel blocked the demonstration ahead of its 5 pm start, leading to brief altercations and detentions before the gathering dispersed around 7 pm. Both CJP and AISA stated they lacked information regarding their leaders' exact whereabouts and alleged denial of legal access. Opposition leaders, including DMK president MK Stalin, condemned the detentions and demanded their immediate release. The protest was organized to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
