Delhi police detained Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke and fellow leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka after their flight from Mumbai landed in the capital on Saturday, ahead of a planned protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
The CJP said officers intercepted the three before they left the aircraft, calling the detentions a pre-planned attempt to prevent them from reaching Jantar Mantar. Police had denied permission for the demonstration, which was organised by the CJP and Left-affiliated student groups over allegations concerning the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and changes relating to Form 6, used for voter registration.
Authorities detained protesters across Delhi, including CJP legal affairs head Ratna Singh. YouTuber and protest supporter Dhruv Rathee was also detained, according to reports. Estimates of the total varied: a police source told Reuters about 200 people were detained in central New Delhi, while The Hindu reported more than 500 detentions across the city.
Security measures included road barricades, vehicle checks, metro station closures and suspension of mobile internet in central Delhi. Reuters witnesses also reported closed markets and anti-riot vehicles stationed on key routes.
Dipke criticised the restrictions before travelling to Delhi and said he was prepared to be arrested. His family condemned his detention. His grandmother, Savitribai Dipke, died in their family village in Maharashtra on Saturday; it was not immediately clear whether he would be permitted to attend the funeral.

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 a narrow correction to match the sourced description of the allegations behind the protest. - "the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and changes to voter registration procedures": The sources specify changes relating to Form 6, used for voter registration, or concerns about SIR handling; the broader phrase 'changes to voter registration procedures' is not directly sourced. - "YouTuber and protest supporter Dhruv Rathee was also detained, according to reports.": The sources say Rathee was detained, but differ on whether it was at his residence, outside Delhi, or among protesters; the story's wording is acceptable except it omits the sourced location conflict, but no material contradiction. [remove?] - "His grandmother, Savitribai Dipke, died in their family village in Maharashtra on Saturday": One source names her Savitribai Dipke and says she was 75, while another names her Savitribai Shankar Dipke and says she was 85; the story's central fact is supported, but the age is omitted and name is consistent enough.
