  "account": "Delhi - Police have arrested thousands of participants in street protests by India's controversial voter list review movement, the \"Ants\" youth movement. The main demonstration took place in the central area of New Delhi, with other gatherings occurring throughout the capital, according to reports from The Hindu and other local media. Eyewitnesses claim that several people were forcibly removed. Authorities mobilized thousands of security personnel to prevent the prohibited protests, setting up road barriers, imposing temporary internet blocks, and closing subway stations. The \"Ants\" Party (CJP) announced the arrest of founding member Abhijeet Dipke and other representatives upon arrival at Delhi's international airport. Dipke told NDTV news broadcaster, \"Come and arrest us, we have nothing to fear,\" while being transported by a plane from Mumbai. The police stated they had not granted permission for the demonstration because the request was filed late. The main demand of the movement is the resignation of the head of the Election Commission, Gyanesh Kumar, whose commission is responsible for the recent nationwide revision of voter lists, which reportedly erased the names of 130 million people.",
