Police in New Delhi registered a First Information Report against opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, Congress lawmaker Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and others for allegedly breaching barricades during a protest at Akashvani Bhavan on Tuesday. About 260 people, including 10 lawmakers, were detained earlier that day when an opposition bloc march towards the Election Commission of India turned into a clash with police who accused protesters of ignoring dispersal orders. The Congress party countered by accusing the police of using excessive force and vowed to continue their protest activities despite legal repercussions.

Story summary
Thousands of protesters in New Delhi and Mumbai have rallied for three consecutive days demanding the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar, the chief of India's Election Commission. The protests, led by opposition politicians and the youth-driven Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), claim that recent revisions to voter rolls are disenfranchising millions of eligible voters, particularly benefiting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling BJP. On Saturday, police detained several demonstrators in New Delhi after clashes erupted; some protesters were reported to have been sexually harassed by law enforcement. The Election Commission maintains the revisions aim to remove duplicate entries but critics argue they are politically motivated. Police mobilized heavily with roadblocks and thousands of personnel to manage the protests amid tensions over press freedoms and political accountability.
