PoliticsPhotos: Thousands detained in police crackdown on India’s youth protest

Indian authorities detained thousands across New Delhi on Saturday while blocking a youth-led “cockroach” movement rally calling for the election chief’s resignation. Officials said permission was denied because the request came late and defended the operation as necessary to maintain order. Protesters and critics said peaceful dissent was being suppressed.
