At least 500 people were detained in central Delhi on Sunday as an AISA-backed march demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar entered its third day. Protesters began from Andhra Bhavan around 4 p.m. but were stopped by barricades at the Shangri-La intersection, where clashes broke out. Those detained included AISA president Neha and a woman journalist who had alleged sexual harassment by a police officer at Saturday's protest. Neha was later released from Narela Industrial Area police station. Protesters alleged manhandling during detentions. No police response was reported. The march also demanded the SIR be scrapped.
