On Saturday in Delhi, law enforcement detained upwards of 3,000 demonstrators who staged a protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The participants accused the election official of manipulating voter lists.
The demonstration drew prominent political figures, including Mamata Banerjee and Arvind Kejriwal, both of whom were among those arrested by police during the crackdown. The mass detentions and high-profile participation have escalated tensions, triggering a direct political face-off between the ruling establishment and opposition leaders.
