India arrests 'Cockroaches' leaders after protest over 130M voter removals

Indian police arrested leaders of the youth movement 'The Cockroaches' after they stormed Jantar Mantar square in New Delhi, demanding the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation over the removal of over 130 million names from voter lists. The scale of removals, if accurate, would be unprecedented and could significantly affect electoral outcomes, raising concerns about democratic integrity. The claim of 130 million removals is unverified and likely an aggregate figure; the incident signals rising political tension ahead of elections.
