Reason Behind the Detention

The sudden interception comes in response to a planned protest called by the CJP at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in electoral roll revisions. The Delhi Police formally denied permission for the gathering, citing law and order concerns and traffic disruption. Ahead of the scheduled rally, security forces detained hundreds of demonstrators across Delhi, while CJP representatives condemned the airport detention as an unlawful infringement on freedom of movement.
