Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders reached court in Delhi on October 11 after being detained for nearly 24 hours during a police crackdown ahead of their planned protest at Jantar Mantar. The leaders, including Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, were detained upon arriving in Delhi to protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral-roll irregularities. Meanwhile, YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, who was detained at his Gurugram residence on Saturday, was released late that night. The protest has triggered widespread debate over police restrictions, civil liberties and the right to peaceful assembly.
