‘Beat us, detain us, we’ll come back’: Young protesters return to Delhi Streets after Saturday’s detentions

Young protesters who were unable to attend demonstrations in Central Delhi due to travel restrictions on Saturday managed to return to the streets on Sunday, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. A first-year student from Shri Ram College of Commerce expressed her reluctance to travel to Delhi from Rajasthan due to concerns about encountering police, but ultimately decided to join the protest.

Another final year student from St. Stephens College, preparing for UPSC examinations, also joined the protest after initially being unable to make it on Saturday. Both students recounted their experiences being questioned by police while attempting to reach Jantar Mantar, despite restrictions being eased on Sunday. Despite the fear of being detained, the young protesters maintained their commitment to the cause, stating they would continue to return despite facing consequences.
