Indian Police Detain ‘Cockroach’ Leader as Protests Spread

Indian authorities detained Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party, on Friday to block a protest that drew thousands to New Delhi streets. The demonstration opposed a contentious voter-roll revision and the arrest of two prominent activists. Police acted preemptively, aiming to prevent the gathering from escalating amid growing public unrest.
