YouTuber and political commentator Dhruv Rathee was detained by Delhi Police at his residence in Gurugram’s Sector 56 on October 10, 2026, ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party’s (CJP) planned protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. The demonstration aims to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in electoral roll revisions. The detention came amid heightened security measures, police barricading and restrictions across Delhi-NCR. Authorities had denied permission for the protest, citing public safety and law-and-order concerns. Around 200 protesters were reportedly detained as police sought to prevent the demonstration from proceeding. (PC: X)
