Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, along with other opposition lawmakers, were detained on Tuesday from Akashvani Bhawan in New Delhi, according to The Hindu. The Indian Express reported that they were detained following an eight-hour sit-in and released after 10 p.m.

The protest began after Delhi Police stopped INDIA bloc leaders from marching toward the Election Commission. The demonstrators were demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations they described as “vote chori.” According to The Indian Express, protesters entered the Akashvani Bhawan premises at about 2 p.m. after the march was halted.

Police registered a case against Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders on Wednesday morning, The Indian Express reported, citing their entry into the premises and the absence of permission for the planned march. The newspaper also reported that Priyanka Gandhi climbed a gate at the Kingsway Camp police lines in an effort to let other leaders enter after Rahul Gandhi was detained.

Images and video of the sit-in prompted comparisons online to the climax of the 2006 film *Rang De Basanti*. Nationalist Congress Party member Anish Gawande was among those who shared the comparison on social media.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story needs its first attribution narrowed so the eight-hour sit-in detail is credited only to the source that provides it. - "Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, along with other opposition lawmakers, were detained on Tuesday following an eight-hour sit-in at Akashvani Bhawan in New Delhi, according to The Hindu and The Indian Express.": The Hindu source provided only supports that Rahul, Priyanka and other Opposition MPs were detained from Akashvani Bhawan; the eight-hour sit-in detail is supported by The Indian Express, not the provided Hindu material.
