Dhruv Rathee Detained Ahead of CJP Protest Against Chief Election Commissioner
YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was detained by Delhi Police at his Gurugram residence ahead of a planned protest by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) at Jantar Mantar, which called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged electoral roll irregularities. The police denied permission for the protest, citing security concerns, and imposed extensive restrictions across Delhi, detaining hundreds of protesters and deploying thousands of personnel. The CJP condemned Rathee's detention as part of a crackdown on dissent, while authorities cited law enforcement and public safety reasons for their actions.
