Summary

Multiple opposition parties and leaders, including Congress's Rahul Gandhi, staged protests in October 2026 demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, citing concerns over the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and alleged irregularities. Police reported receiving complaints from three female journalists about sexual harassment during a protest at Jantar Mantar on October 3. According to police and protest reports, opposition leaders were detained during demonstrations in Delhi; the Chief Election Commissioner, government spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi, and Sambit Patra denied that any detention occurred. A witness observed Rahul Gandhi offering water to police, and a standoff with a continued sit-in took place. The Election Commission declined to meet opposition MPs at Parliament House Annexe, offering instead to send a senior officer to collect their memorandum, which the MPs declined. Protests were held in multiple cities including Delhi and Mumbai, with some occurring without police permission. The allegations against the Election Commission and police conduct have not been independently established.
