CJP protest in Delhi: YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was detained from his residence in Gurugram's Sector 56 on Saturday.
Delhi YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was released from police detention late Saturday night, an official confirmed. However, he could face further detention or legal action if he attempts to attend the Cockroach Janta Party's protest at Jantar Mantar, despite prohibitory orders, according to a police source. Rathee was arrested from his residence in Gurugram's Sector 56 on Saturday as Delhi Police intensified security to prevent protesters from reaching Jantar Mantar.
The CJP protest, organized by student wing leaders and opposition parties, was attended by a few opposition parties and demanded Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged SIR irregularities. Despite the police crackdown, the CJP announced plans to continue the protest on Sunday.
