An Indian court ordered the release of three leaders of the youth-led 'cockroach' movement on Sunday, one day after they were detained in Delhi. The detentions occurred ahead of a planned demonstration organized by the group to protest alleged irregularities in voter-roll revisions and to demand the resignation of India's election commissioner.
Following their release, movement founder Abhijeet Dipke publicly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As the legal proceedings conclude, the movement has announced plans for fresh protests to continue their campaign.
