Cockroach Janta Party Leaders Detained Over Voter-List Removals

Police detained Cockroach Janta Party leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on 13 October. They climbed barricades with Indian flags and called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign. At issue is a voter-list cleanup — an electoral roll revision — that removed tens of millions of names. The party says about 20 were detained.
