Police in Delhi have detained Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of India's youth-led "cockroach" movement, ahead of planned demonstrations. The arrest follows the recent jailing of two other party leaders and a wave of mass detentions that occurred the previous week.

The "cockroach" movement had called for protests in the capital in response to the ongoing crackdown by authorities. The detentions and subsequent planned demonstrations highlight escalating tensions between the youth-led political movement and law enforcement in Delhi.
