‘Cockroach’ group leaders among hundreds detained in Delhi protest

The group said its founder Abhijeet Dipke, who began the movement in May after India's Chief Justice likened some jobless young people to "cockroaches", was detained with other leaders shortly after landing in Delhi.

Delhi Police has not commented on the detentions, but had refused permission for the protest to take place at Jantar Mantar, a landmark in the Indian capital.

Hundreds of protesters have reportedly been detained in Delhi during the latest demonstration by the Gen-Z led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) over electoral reforms.
