Abhijeet Dipke, the prominent figure behind India's unconventional 'cockroach' movement, was taken into custody by police on Friday. The arrest was captured in real-time through a live broadcast on his group’s social media channels, occurring just hours before he was scheduled to lead a planned demonstration in the heart of Delhi’s central business district.

The protest, which Dipke had organized, was intended to serve as a public platform for demanding the resignation of India’s top election official. This incident marks the most recent development in a series of ongoing rallies led by activists who are calling for greater accountability and leadership changes within the country’s electoral commission.
