In a significant show of dissent, more than 5,000 protesters took to the streets of New Delhi, calling for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Among the detained are prominent figures from the Campus Front of India, including Dipke from the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) and several student activists.

Reports indicate that detained activists, including Neha Bora, were allegedly kept in isolated rooms following their arrest. This raises serious questions about the treatment of protesters and the government's commitment to upholding democratic rights. What safeguards are in place to protect citizens exercising their right to protest?

As tensions escalate, the CJP is set to hold a press conference to address these issues and demand accountability from the authorities. This incident highlights the urgent need for transparency and respect for civil liberties in the face of governmental power.

As reported by The Hindu, the situation continues to unfold, and citizens are left questioning the state of democracy in the country.
