PoliticsPolice crack down on ‘cockroach’ protest in Delhi, India

Tens of thousands of security personnel have been deployed and roads barricaded in Delhi to stop the Cockroach Janta Party’s latest demonstration. The group says its leader, Abhijeet Dipke, is among hundreds reportedly detained since Friday evening. Dipke launched the movement in May, almost as a joke, after Chief Justice Surya Kant compared unemployed young people to “cockroaches”.
