> India’s youth-led Cockroach movement is stepping up demonstrations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government. Three leaders were detained after violating a ban at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar site. Protesters say a voter-list revision favours Modi’s party, while the demonstrations are disrupting businesses across the capital.
