4 former chief ministers were detained in Delhi on Saturday as police cracked down on protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal, Pinarayi Vijayan and Manik Sarkar were among those detained while trying to join the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) protest at Jantar Mantar. Banerjee was detained along with five Trinamool Congress MPs after staging a protest in central Delhi. “The government is misbehaving with us,” she said in a video message. Kejriwal urged young people to continue protesting against alleged vote theft. Several opposition and student leaders were also detained.
