  "summary": "Indian authorities have detained thousands of protesters in New Delhi as part of a youth-led movement called the \"Cockroach\" movement. The protests were against a contentious revision of voter rolls.\n\nThe protests were met with a sweeping security crackdown, with authorities deploying roadblocks, anti-riot units, and tear gas launchers. The central staging ground at Jantar Mantar was heavily barricaded. According to GBC Ghana, mobile internet suspensions were also implemented across central corridors.\n\nThe leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party, including founder Abhijeet Dipke, were detained by police. Dipke and other senior members, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, were taken into custody at the airport upon their arrival from Mumbai. The police claimed the gathering was denied permission due to a late permit filing.",
