Rahul, Priyanka Gandhi detained after hours-long anti-CEC protest, released later

Opposition leaders led by Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra staged an extended protest near the Election Commission office in New Delhi, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The INDIA bloc leaders, supported by members from various parties including the SP, TMC, CPI(M), and BJD, occupied the premises of the AIR broadcasting organization for several hours.

They were eventually released later in the evening. Their protest came in response to allegations of electoral malpractice and the alleged "hijacking" of the country.
