Several protesters gathered at Connaught Place’s outer circle in New Delhi on October 11, 2026, amid heightened security over continuing demonstrations demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police detained protesters as security personnel moved to disperse gatherings and prevent demonstrators from marching towards Jantar Mantar. The protests, called by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), are linked to concerns over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. #Delhi #ConnaughtPlace #DelhiPolice #CJPProtest #GyaneshKumar #JantarMantar #DelhiNews #Protest The Hindu’s Special documentary Gandhi for Gen Z: The Mahatma is suddenly cool again https://youtu.be/H1826_OhPzA?si=hTHLFktE3gZgqAIM Thank you for watching our video!
