Delhi Police detained Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other Opposition leaders in central Delhi on Wednesday as they attempted to reach Jantar Mantar to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
The protest followed a lunch meeting of INDIA bloc lawmakers. Buses carrying the MPs were stopped near Windsor Place, short of the designated protest site, prompting demonstrators to stage a sit-in on the road. Images showed Gandhi being carried into a police vehicle and Vadra, holding a copy of the Constitution, being removed after lying on the road. Gandhi was taken to Barakhamba Road police station and released by 8 p.m., The Hindu reported.
Opposition parties accuse the Election Commission of irregularities in its revision of voter lists and say the poll body has not met lawmakers seeking answers. Gandhi said demonstrations would continue until Kumar resigned.
Earlier Wednesday, police registered a criminal-trespass case against Gandhi, Vadra and several others over their entry into Akashvani Bhavan during a protest the previous day. Police said protesters had breached barricades, ignored orders to disperse and held the march without permission while restrictions under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita were in effect. Around 260 people, including 10 MPs, were detained Tuesday.
Congress MP Imran Masood denied that Gandhi had entered Akashvani Bhavan forcibly and said the opposition would not abandon its protests because of the case.
