A large-scale crackdown and mass arrests occurred in Delhi as police moved to suppress a major rally called by the youth political party ‘Kakrooch Janata Party’ (CJP), demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The Saturday operation saw the detention of at least 3,000 protesters and opposition leaders, including prominent figures such as Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of Delhi, Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal, and Pinarayi Vijayan, Chief Minister of Kerala. Despite the release of the majority of those detained, four individuals, including Deepa and Dhruba Rath, remain imprisoned. The crackdown highlights ongoing political tensions surrounding the election commission. Details regarding the ongoing situation and the reasons for the continued detention of the four remain unclear. Further updates are expected as the situation develops in Delhi.
