India opposition leaders briefly detained at election chief protest

Indian police briefly detained several opposition legislators, including Rahul Gandhi, during a New Delhi march demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The protest targets a voter-roll revision that critics say could exclude millions of eligible voters. The Election Commission says the exercise removes duplicate or ineligible entries and has ordered officials to register omitted voters.
