Security measures were increased in New Delhi on Friday, October 16, as authorities braced for a rally organized by the 'cockroach' movement. Police issued warnings regarding potential traffic disruptions throughout the capital city as demonstrators gathered to protest the recent detention and imprisonment of two leaders from the Cockroach Janta Party.
The 'cockroach' movement has recently gained prominence as a significant political challenge to the administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party. The current mobilization serves as a direct response to the legal actions taken against the movement's leadership earlier this week.
