Summary
Indian police again detained the founder of the youth-led 'cockroach' protest movement ahead of a planned Delhi demonstration, following mass detentions and the jailing of two leaders last week. The movement called the protest after a government review of voter lists, which critics say is politically motivated and could disenfranchise voters. The Election Commission and Modi's administration deny the allegations.
