Police in Delhi have detained hundreds of protesters and the leaders of India's "Cockroach" youth movement ahead of a demonstration demanding the resignation of India's election chief. It comes after the Commission's move to drop some 130 million names from their voter list. Thousands of police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed across the city, shutting down dozens of metro stations and markets as authorities moved to stop the rally. Internet was cut around the Jantar Mantar protest site and demonstrators reported that anyone attempting to reach the location was detained or turned away. The Cockroach Janta Party have condemned the "authoritarian detention" of its leaders and demanded their immediate release.
