Summary

Multiple protests occurred in New Delhi from late September through mid-October 2026, with opposition parties, student groups, and activists demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in electoral rolls and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. Protesters claimed the revision excluded millions of eligible voters; the BJP and Election Commission denied these allegations. Delhi Police detained thousands of protesters across multiple demonstrations, including political leaders, activists, and media personnel. Detentions were disputed: Pioneer News Service, various reports, India, witnesses, and the Cockroach Janta Party stated they occurred, while the Bharatiya Janata Party, Election Commission, Delhi Police, and John Brittas denied or disputed the claims. Observers reported alleged illegal detention and seizure of phones, as well as buses being immobilized and roads obstructed. The UN expressed concern about the detentions and called for protection of peaceful assembly rights; India rejected these concerns as inappropriate interference. Prohibitory orders were imposed, and videos of alleged police misconduct circulated on social media.
