Police detained leaders of the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party after they breached barricades at Jantar Mantar, a protest site in New Delhi.
The demonstrators were demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over voter list revisions that critics say favor Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling party.
The reports say the activists entered the site despite police orders, and some accounts describe them as jumping barricades into the historic observatory area.
The Election Commission denied political bias, and one report says it stated that wrongly deleted voters can re-enroll.
Human Rights Watch criticized the government’s handling of the protests and urged officials to respect fundamental rights, while opposition parties also challenged the voter revision exercise in court.
