Delhi Clampdown Ahead of CJP Protest Over CEC

Delhi saw an unprecedented security clampdown on October 10, 2026, as thousands of police and paramilitary personnel were deployed to prevent a Cockroach Janta Party-led protest at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision that deleted 13 crore voters. Over 250 trains were cancelled, 45 metro stations shut, and hundreds detained, including CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, who were detained inside their aircraft upon landing.
