New Delhi prepared for a second day of youth protests on Sunday as demonstrators
demanded the resignation of the Indian election chief. A court ordered the
release of 'Cockroach' movement founder Deepak and two other senior leaders who
were detained on arrival Saturday; 'Cockroach People's Party' lawyer Rattan
Singh said they were released on the condition they refrain from disturbing the
peace for one year. Police detained more than 2,000 people and sealed central
Delhi to thwart a planned gathering of thousands at Jantar Mantar. Mobile
internet and metro services were restored, but thousands of police and
paramilitary personnel remained deployed across the city. Authorities said most
people detained on the first day were released late Saturday.
