What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around Cockroach party leaders being jailed after entering a protest site that is described as banned. The Guardian US adds named individuals, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, and says they will spend five days in prison for violating a protest ban at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, while Al Jazeera gives the same five-day jail framing more briefly.
