Tens of thousands of security personnel have been deployed and roads barricaded in Delhi to stop the latest Cockroach Janta Party demonstration. The group says its leader, Abhijeet Dipke, is among hundreds who have been reportedly detained since Friday evening. Dipke - who has said he is prepared to go to jail - started the movement in May almost as a joke in response to a remark by India's Chief Justice Surya Kant, who had likened jobless youngsters to "cockroaches".
