Summary

Opposition leaders marched to India's Supreme Court demanding the resignation of the election commission chief, following a weekend in which thousands of protesters were detained in New Delhi over a contested voter roll revision. Delhi authorities shut metro stations and restricted traffic ahead of the march. The protests follow earlier demonstrations by the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party, whose leaders were briefly detained and then released.
