Indian police detained several opposition leaders during a protest outside the Election Commission in New Delhi, according to Al Jazeera.
The demonstration involved lawmakers who gathered to voice objections related to voter lists, though specific details about the exact nature of their grievances were not elaborated upon in the initial report.
Opposition parties in India have periodically raised concerns about the accuracy and management of electoral rolls, particularly ahead of major elections, arguing that errors or omissions in voter lists can disenfranchise eligible voters.
It remains unclear how many opposition leaders were detained or whether any have since been released. The Election Commission has not issued a public statement responding to the protest at the time of this report.
