India arrests leader of protests against election chief
–
Neutral summary
Police in New Delhi arrested Abhijeet Dipke, leader of the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party movement, which is demanding the resignation of India's Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The arrest took place on Friday, October 16, amid ongoing protests in the city center. Demonstrators, mostly students, are calling for fair elections and accusing the election commission of bias. The protests began after the commission refused to revise voter lists, which activists say contain errors. Police used force to disperse demonstrations, leading to clashes. According to sources, several other activists were also detained. The Cockroach Janta Party movement is known for its satirical protests against India's political system.
