Detentions tied to electoral rolls protests
These detentions are tied to protests over alleged irregularities in updating electoral rolls.
Young groups like the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), founded by Abhijeet Dipke, have been at the forefront, even facing preemptive detentions before planned rallies.
The Supreme Court is now reviewing whether removing Jantar Mantar as a protest site limits people's right to gather and speak up.
