India detains hundreds of anti-government protesters and party leaders in Delhi
Indian authorities detained hundreds of protesters and multiple leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Delhi on October 11 following an anti-government demonstration, with video evidence showing founder Abhijeet Dipke and other party officials being taken into custody shortly after arriving in the capital. Delhi police had denied permission for the demonstration to take place. The CJP, which began as a movement in May after India's Chief Justice characterized some unemployed young people as 'cockroaches,' has emerged as a visible protest force challenging government policies.
