Cockroach Janta Party leaders vowed to continue protests demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar after a Delhi court ordered their release on Sunday.

Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka had been detained at Indira Gandhi International Airport on Saturday before reaching a planned demonstration at Jantar Mantar. According to CJP legal head Ratna Singh, the court released them on the condition that they not breach the peace for one year.

The protests concern alleged irregularities in the special intensive revision of electoral rolls. Security forces heavily restricted access to central New Delhi on Saturday, erecting multiple layers of barricades and deploying more than 3,000 personnel around Parliament Street, The Indian Express reported. Police detained demonstrators, opposition politicians, activists and several journalists. The Wire reported more than 7,000 detentions.

Detentions continued Sunday as CJP and Left-affiliated groups attempted fresh marches in Delhi. Student leader Neha Bora and Communist Party of India (Marxist) MP John Brittas were among those detained. The CPI(M) alleged Brittas was assaulted. In Mumbai, demonstrators were prevented from assembling near Shivaji Park and some were detained around Dadar station.

The Supreme Court issued an interim order stating that people assembling peacefully to protest must not be detained except according to law. After his release, Das described the situation as “emergency-like” and urged peaceful protests to continue.
