Hundreds of protesters, including leaders of the Gen-Z led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), were detained by Delhi Police during a demonstration demanding electoral reforms and the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. The group's founder Abhijeet Dipke and other key figures were intercepted and detained shortly after arriving in Delhi.
Tens of thousands of security personnel were deployed and major transport routes were disrupted ahead of the planned protest at Jantar Mantar, which had been denied official permission. The CJP continues to challenge the updating of electoral rolls, alleging bias toward the ruling party, though election officials have strongly denied these claims.
