‘Cockroach’ leader among thousands detained in Delhi protest crackdown

What the coverage shows

All the outlets frame the story around the detention of the Cockroach Janta Party’s leaders and the wider protest crackdown in Delhi, with the BBC repeatedly emphasizing security deployments and access restrictions. The release of the leaders becomes the focus only in the South China Morning Post, France 24, and the New York Times, while the Guardian and France 24 are alone in foregrounding electoral-roll or election-commission complaints as the protest issue. Channel 4 uniquely adds the movement’s origin story in a Supreme Court remark, and the BBC is the only outlet to highlight one protester’s detention immediately after an interview.
