Leaders of India's Cockroach Janta Party were detained for the second time in days after attempting to enter Jantar Mantar, a historic protest site in New Delhi, amid a deepening standoff over voter roll changes. The detention follows the removal of Jantar Mantar's protest designation by Delhi police, signaling a tightening of civic space. The dispute over voter rolls could have implications for electoral integrity and political stability in India.
