YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, who was detained from his Gurugram home on Saturday morning, is still under detention, police said. All those detained on Saturday were let go late on Saturday. However, CJP leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka, and Saurav Das were still under detention at unknown location.

Traffic curbs in Delhi on Sunday

Traffic restrictions will continue across Delhi for a second consecutive day on Sunday amid the Cockroach Janta Party’s fresh protest call demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Diversions may be enforced at 30 key points.

According to a Delhi Traffic Police advisory issued late Saturday, restrictions will begin at 6 am, depending on the situation. Traffic may be affected around Jantar Mantar, Connaught Place, Mandi House, Patel Chowk, Rail Bhawan, Sansad Marg and several other intersections in Central Delhi.

Other affected stretches include Lodhi Road flyover, Neela Gumbad roundabout, Samrat Hotel roundabout and junctions near Bhikaji Cama Place and Moti Bagh flyovers.

Train services to resume normally from October 11

All the train services will run as per the normal schedule from October 11, officials have said. The services were suspended over CJP's Delhi protest call.

Delhi is likely to see continued disruption on Sunday, October 11, amid CJP protest. The Delhi Traffic Police has announced traffic diversions at around 30 key points from 6 am, depending on the law and order situation.

Railway operations, retail liquor shops and access to Jantar Mantar may be affected by restrictions imposed for the October 10 protest.

CJP Protests in Delhi Day 2 LIVE Updates: India vs UNHR over detentions

The UN human rights office on Saturday expressed concern over mass detentions during protests in Delhi, urging Indian authorities to uphold the right to peaceful assembly and immediately release anyone arbitrarily detained.

UN human rights spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan called for restraint by law enforcement and urged the authorities to engage in dialogue with protesters.

India’s Permanent Mission in Geneva rejected the remarks as “misplaced” and an “unwarranted interference” in the country’s internal affairs. It said peaceful assembly was constitutionally guaranteed, subject to reasonable restrictions in the interest of public order, and urged the UN office to give comparable attention to protests elsewhere.

CJP Protests in Delhi Day 2 LIVE Updates: Why CJP is protesting again

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

After a protest in Mumbai on October 2, the group planned a fresh demonstration at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, but police rejected its request for permission, citing public interest.

The controversy intensified after The Indian Express reported that Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections at least 14 times over 10 months to SIR-related decisions and procedures.

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke alleged that around 13 crore voters had been removed from electoral rolls since 2024.

The Election Commission has rejected the allegations, saying key decisions, including the SIR exercise, were taken unanimously.
