פוליטיקה · India voting rightsIndia protest leaders get five days’ custody as Supreme Court hearing shiftsנכתב 15 באוקטובר 2026 בשעה 03:55 UTCצפייהתמליל0:07On October 12th, we reported protest protections.0:10Now two leaders face five days' custody.0:13India's confrontation reaches both access to the ballot and the freedom to0:16demonstrate.0:17The unresolved question is whether the court's protections give protesters usable0:21access while the electoral dispute continues.0:23Police removed Jantar Mantar's designation as a rally venue on October 12th.0:28Protesters entered the following day, and police detained 14 people.0:32Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka received their custody orders on October 14th, with0:36Tihar Jail named as their destination.0:39The entry and detentions happened on October 13th.0:42The earlier October 12th date needs correcting.0:45The group included three cockroach Janta Party leaders, Das, Ranka, and Ajinkya0:51Shinde, alongside 11 volunteers.0:54Police allege they climbed gates or barricades and entered without permission.0:58A special executive magistrate at Mandir Marg Police Station ordered Das and Ranka1:02held for five days.1:04The stated concern was that release could lead to further violations and instigation1:08of others.1:09The proceedings concern preventive detention and anticipated conduct.1:12Shinde's status is disputed.1:15He's been described both as jailed and as placed under a peace bond.1:18His conditions and whereabouts haven't been explained.1:21Das and Ranka haven't been reported released, and the five-day description doesn't1:25give a confirmed release date.1:27Das and Ranka had already been released on October 11th alongside Abhijit Dipke.1:32That earlier proceeding took place before a magistrate at Delhi cantonment.1:36Shinde is the third leader named in the new incident.1:39Dipke was the third in the earlier one.1:41Police described the earlier release conditions as a 50,000 rupee surety and one1:46year of peace and good behavior.1:48Dipke denied signing and undertaking not to protest.1:51His denial leaves the separate police account of a peace bond unresolved.1:54Opposition supporters marched toward the Supreme Court on October 12th, demanding a1:59halt to the voter roll revision.2:01Crowd estimates range from hundreds in the central Delhi procession to thousands2:05marching toward the court.2:06There's no common counting boundary that reconciles them.2:09Protesters want Chief Election Commissioner Gianesh Kumar to resign.2:13Rahul Gandhi described the campaign as a defense of the Constitution.2:16While Congress called it a fight against vote theft, opposition leaders sought to2:20put alleged electoral irregularities before the court.2:24Congress says Chief Justice Surya Kant declined its request for a meeting and2:27directed the delegation toward judicial proceedings.2:30The electoral allegations await judicial consideration.2:33The court proceedings examining protest restrictions concern a separate issue.2:38The Supreme Court's october eleventh directions protected lawful movement and2:42peaceful, unarmed assembly outside restricted areas.2:45They required normal metro and rail operations, subject to lawful public order2:50needs, and internet services operating in accordance with law.2:53The court also ordered authorities to prevent illegal detention, review barricades,2:58and protect journalists and lawyers doing their jobs.3:01Those protections leave room for lawful restrictions.3:04Judges still have to examine whether particular measures cross the line.3:07Authorities closed six metro stations before Monday's March and announced traffic3:12restrictions or diversions at 20 locations.3:15Police also announced three alternative rally sites after removing Jantar Mantar's3:20designation.3:21Whether those alternatives offer protesters usable access still needs explaining.3:25The six station closures were a fresh October 12th restriction.3:29Over the preceding weekend, entry and exit restrictions had affected 45 of the3:34metro's 303 stations for about 25 hours.3:37Those stations reopened late on October 10th before Sunday's court hearing.3:41Weekend detention estimates ranged from around 2,000 to more than 7,000, without a3:46reconciled roster.3:47More than 20,000 police personnel were deployed in central Delhi.3:51That deployment figure counts officers.3:54It can't resolve how many protesters were detained.3:56The government said most detainees had been released by about six that Saturday4:00evening, that left the status of others unclear.4:03The separate claim of 45 detention centers remains unconfirmed.4:06The established 45 location figure concerns affected metro stations.4:10A separate mobile internet restriction was scheduled within 4 kilometers of the4:14Janpath-Cartavia path crossing.4:16It ran from 10 at night on October 9th until the same time on October 10th.4:20Its actual reach was disputed.4:22The scheduled internet restriction and the district's assembly restrictions covered4:26different things.4:27There's no measured larger internet footprint or confirmed fresh blackout after4:32Sunday's directions.4:33Developer Rahul Kumar estimated that more than 200 protesters used a Bluetooth mesh4:38messaging app.4:39That app passes messages between nearby devices.4:41Kumar's user estimate hasn't been independently measured and it doesn't show that4:45the app maintained communications throughout the restricted area.4:49Protesters' practical ability to communicate remains part of the access dispute.4:53The youth movement had mobilized by July over education, entrance examination leaks4:57and corruption.4:58Its demands broadened to electoral reform.5:01Organizers have sustained repeated demonstrations and say they'll continue until the5:05election chief resigns.5:06Researcher Arushi Svasta estimated more than 450 demonstrations across 26 states5:12and union territories since September 23rd.5:15That estimate and her description of the protests as peaceful are disputed.5:20It isn't a settled national protest count.5:22Across 31 states and union territories, the draft roll tally reaches 133.9 million5:27names.5:28Claims and appeals can change those roles.5:30How many eligible people ultimately lost their place on the final register remains5:34unknown.5:35Earlier descriptions of 130 million people removed from the register overstated what5:39that number tells us.5:41It counts draft stage omissions across different revision dates.5:44It also remains unclear whether the total counts each person only once.5:47The tally concerns registration entries before voting.5:50Bihar's draft record dates to August 1st, 2025.5:53It lists 78.9 million electors before revision and 6,559,6265:59draft stage removals.6:00October 14th is the National Compilations Report date.6:03The states didn't all publish their drafts together.6:06Among entries classified by reason, 71.5% were marked shifted, absent or other.6:12Another 20.9% were marked dead, and 7.6% enrolled more than once.6:16Those are administrative labels.6:18Their accuracy hasn't been checked person by person.6:21Those percentages cover reason-classified entries rather than necessarily the entire6:25national tally.6:27The same compilation estimates that roles previously covered 98.3% of adults in 196:32states with population projections.6:33That broad coverage estimate can't decide any individual's eligibility.6:37Booth-level officers visit households and collect enumeration forms.6:41Return forms feed the draft role, while names tied to unreturned forms are left off6:46it.6:46Voters can seek inclusion through Form 6.6:49Form 7 is used for objections.6:51The Election Commission and Narendra Modi's BJP deny manipulation.6:55They say revision removes duplicate and ineligible names, and wrongly deleted voters7:00can re-enroll.7:01Opposition parties allege eligible voters, especially Muslims and other minorities,7:05are being removed to benefit the BJP.7:08The number of eligible people wrongly excluded and a reliable demographic breakdown7:12remain unresolved.7:13A special inclusion drive was described by October 2nd.7:16By October 7th, it covered 20 states where revision was complete, using ordinary7:20Form 6 without the extra revision declaration.7:23The earlier Phase 2 exercise recorded about 72 million gross deletions and more than7:2820 million inclusions.7:30Together, those changes produced a net reduction of about 52 million.7:34Some inclusions may have been new enrollments, so they can't all be counted as7:38restorations.7:39That phase began on October 27th, 2025, across nine states and three union7:44territories with roughly 510 million electors.7:47Its net reduction was 10.2%.7:49Those figures describe a different stage and geography from October's national draft7:53tally.7:54Uttar Pradesh's Phase II net reduction was 20.4 million.7:58A narrower category, removals following Form 7 objections and adjudication, totaled8:036,316,000 across the phase.8:06West Bengal accounted for 3,315,000 of those removals.8:11Adding those measures to the national draft tally would mix different populations8:14and stages.8:15The inclusion drive offers a way back onto the rolls, but nobody has supplied a8:19completed total showing how many eligible voters recovered access in time to vote.8:23Inside the Election Commission, two commissioners recorded concerns 14 times over 108:28months.8:28The Commission called those notes suggestions and said its decisions were unanimous.8:33Recorded disagreement during deliberations can coexist with a formally unanimous8:37final decision.8:38Sukhbir, Singh Sandhu, and Vivek Joshi raised the concerns.8:42The Commission initially didn't dispute the notes' existence, dates, or contents.8:46It later repeated that revision decisions were unanimous and said proposed digital8:51initiatives would receive further discussion and checks.8:53The Commission still faces questions about who changed Form VI and who filed appeals8:58in West Bengal.8:59It also hasn't explained why the full Commission didn't meet from May to August.9:03Those procedural questions remain separate from proving political direction of9:07individual deletions.9:08Isvasta also cited 2.7 million West Bengal removals and said 90% of challengers were9:13restored after the election.9:15Those claims remain disputed, with the relevant dates and population unclear.9:19The separate Form 7 total measures a specifically defined removal category.9:24For Uttar Pradesh ahead of its 2027 election, she cited 8.8 million additions and9:297.1 million online applications.9:32She said information was unavailable for another 1.7 million additions.9:36Those figures are disputed.9:37Online applications alone don't capture every possible route onto the rolls.9:42Khanop Place reopened on October 12th after a weekend security closure.9:46Traders said customers remained scarce.9:49One complained about wasted time and a declining economy.9:52That describes a trader's experience.9:54There's no quantified sales loss attached to it.9:56Members of Montreal's Indian diaspora gathered at Norman Bethune Square in10:01solidarity.10:02They condemned what they called state violence and urged Canada to prioritize human10:07rights in its dealings with India.10:09A Canadian trade mission had been scheduled to begin October 12th.10:13Organizers in Delhi said they would seek a police-approved date for peaceful10:16protest.10:17Their October 12th warning promised another protest call if no date came within 2410:21hours.10:22Police haven't announced an approved date in these developments.10:25Gandhi vowed on October 14th to reclaim Jantar Mantar.10:29The venue's protest designation hasn't been restored.10:32Protesters have judicial protections for lawful assembly, but they're still10:35confronting new closures, the loss of their established rally venue, and renewed10:39detention.10:40Justice v.10:41Mohana's illness delayed the October 13th hearing.10:44Officials received until the evening of October 14th to answer contempt notices,10:48with copies going to petitioners' lawyers.10:50The court hasn't issued a final contempt finding.10:52Its follow-up hearing is scheduled for October 15th.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗מי דיווח על
