Why have hundreds of 'cockroach' protesters been detained in Delhi
Thousands of security personnel were deployed in Delhi ahead of the Gen-Z led Cockroach Janta Party protest on Saturday calling for electoral reforms.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets converge on the same basic frame: the Cockroach Janta Party leaders were detained in Delhi around a planned protest, and by Sunday they were being described as released. BBC News, France 24 and the South China Morning Post all foreground the detention-and-release sequence, while the Guardian US and France 24 add that the protest was tied to electoral or voter-roll grievances. Sky News is the only one here to emphasize the broader crackdown and the founder being detained among hundreds of protesters, while the BBC’s many updates focus most on security deployments and repeated detention coverage.
