A protest in Delhi on Sunday demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar turned tense, with demonstrators breaking barricades and blocking buses carrying detainees. AAP workers, along with members of NSUI, AISA and other student groups, tried to move towards Jantar Mantar as police and the Rapid Action Force were deployed. Police said at least 25 AAP workers were detained, including Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj, who alleged he was manhandled. Police have not responded to the allegations. The protests follow a controversy over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. The Election Commission says differing views are normal and its orders are legally valid. (PC: India Today)
