YouTuber Dhruv Rathee alleged that he was “kidnapped” after being released from police detention late Saturday. He was detained from his home in Gurugram ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. In a video posted on X, Rathee questioned the police action and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government of weakening democracy. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and other leaders were also detained, along with nearly 500 protesters. Police had denied permission for the protest, citing a lack of notice and concerns over rule compliance. Security was tightened across Delhi.
