India’s ‘Cockroach’ protest leaders freed after crackdown, vow to continue demonstrations2026-10-10Police detained Cockroach Janta Party leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka before a Delhi protest; they were released the next day and vowed to continue demonstrations.The protesters are demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over a voter-roll revision that removed more than 130 million names.Critics say the revision could disenfranchise millions and benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP; the Election Commission and BJP deny manipulation or wrongdoing.Authorities deployed thousands of security personnel in Delhi, closed metro stations and suspended mobile internet to prevent demonstrations.Demonstrations and detentions continued in Delhi on Sunday as police eased some restrictions and registered more than 20 FIRs over Saturday’s protest.India's 'cockroach' leaders defy crackdown to continue protests (Daily Sabah)India detains 'cockroach' movement founder, locks down Delhi ahead of protest (Geo News)India's 'cockroach' movement chief detained ahead of major protest (France 24)India's 'Cockroach' Movement Leader Detained Before Protest (ARY News)India's 'Cockroach' protest movement leaders freed from detention, vow to continue demonstrations | Dunya News (Dunya News)Thousands detained in New Delhi as police crack down on 'cockroach' movement (Euronews)India’s ‘Cockroach’ leaders released from detention after police crackdown (Al Jazeera)CJP protest fallout: Delhi eases curbs, 20+ FIRs filed as Abhijeet Dipke-police row escalates (The Times of India)Will hit streets again until PM Modi’s dictatorship ends, says CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke (The Times of India)CJP Protest: Dipke, Ranka, Saurav Das To Be Produced Before Magistrate After Delhi Police Detentions (Republic World)‘Not backing down’: What next after India’s crackdown on youth protesters?
