Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was released on Wednesday night after being briefly detained during an Opposition protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar in Delhi. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and several other INDIA bloc leaders were also detained as police stopped their buses while they were heading to Jantar Mantar. The Opposition is demanding Kumar’s resignation over alleged irregularities linked to the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision exercise. Rahul and Priyanka were taken to separate police facilities and released shortly after 8 pm. The protest followed a lunch meeting hosted by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, where Opposition parties discussed continuing their campaign against the CEC. (PC: HT)
