Leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party announced plans to press ahead with their campaign for the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar following their release from detention on Sunday, with approximately 200 protesters having been taken into custody and a substantial security presence maintained across New Delhi.

A Supreme Court directive, issued after an emergency morning session, prompted authorities to ease the restrictions that had been in place — Metro stations were allowed to reopen and internet connectivity was restored.

Three CJP figures — Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka, and Saurav Das — were freed after agreeing to a twelve-month undertaking to maintain public order. In a conversation with reporters following his release that morning, Dhruv Rathee characterised what he had undergone not as a detention but as an abduction.

Ranka, co-convener of CJP, announced that he along with fellow leaders planned to visit Delhi Police on Monday to request a scheduled date for staging a new demonstration at Jantar Mantar.

At a press conference held at the Press Club of India, Das put forward the position that state machinery had been turned against ordinary citizens by the government, and that the CJP's planned demonstrations would not remain limited to Delhi but would spread to other parts of the country. He told those present that the unrest would persist until Gyanesh stepped down from his position.

Abhijeet Dipke, the CJP founder, told reporters that no bond of any kind had been placed before him for signature — one that would have barred him or fellow CJP leaders from organising further demonstrations. Protesters vowed to return to the streets.

Speaking to reporters at Nagpur airport, Dipke conveyed that neither intimidation nor the prevailing political arrangement would deter opposition efforts, with the group committed to bringing that arrangement to an end.

Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas, representing the CPM, was transported to hospital following an altercation at Connaught Place in which Delhi Police personnel faced allegations of having applied physical force against him. According to Brittas, guards came close to strangling him even as he made clear he held a seat in parliament.

Taken into custody alongside others were Neha Bora and Aishe Ghosh, both affiliated with student organisations including SFI, AISF and AISA, as well as Annie Raja, a leader within the CPI. A figure of no fewer than 16 journalists had been taken into custody, according to a statement issued by Reporters Sans Frontieres.

Twenty FIRs were lodged in the aftermath of Saturday's protest, according to police. Charges listed in the FIRs covered offences including attacks on police personnel and interference with the performance of their duties, alongside additional counts. Police described the arrests carried out during that period as precautionary in nature, stating that those taken into custody had been processed in accordance with established procedures.
