Protesters affiliated with the Cockroach Janata Party gathered for a second consecutive day at Jantar Mantar, where their demonstration called for the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations — framed by organisers as "vote-chori" — tied to the special intensive revision of electoral rolls. A group pressed forward to the venue even as police maintained a visible presence and a number of detentions had already taken place.

Authorities took more than 200 protesters into custody, a move that came even as standing court rulings had barred such detentions as unlawful.

At a press conference held in New Delhi, Students Federation of India leader Aishe Ghosh outlined plans for a protest campaign under the Jantar Mantar 2.0 banner, with the CJP extending its backing to a nationwide mobilisation aimed at securing the Chief Election Commissioner's resignation. Ghosh stated that street demonstrations would be sustained for as long as deemed necessary, and gave a commitment that the Constitution would serve as the guiding framework for their actions.

Activists from a cluster of student-led bodies — among them the All India Students' Association, the Krantikari Yuva Sangathan, the Campaign for Justice and Peace, and the Students' Federation of India — were taken into police custody as they attempted to converge on Jantar Mantar from various points across the city. A heavy police and security presence was deployed across central Delhi as authorities worked to contain the gathering demonstrators.

With Jantar Mantar closed to demonstrators, the gathering on Sunday redirected its activity toward Connaught Place, where protesters moved through the streets and lanes raising slogans and staging demonstrations. Protesters who had been dispersed across multiple locations the previous day consolidated into a single, concentrated gathering by Sunday, with their demands focused on Kumar's resignation.

As they advanced toward Jantar Mantar, security personnel intercepted the group and loaded them onto buses. Claims of excessive force by police, and of certain politically organised groups working alongside officers to confront demonstrators, were put forward at the time.

Taken into custody alongside CPI(M) MP John Brittas and AISA president Neha Bora were a number of students, activists, and journalists. Security personnel moved in to remove the AISA president, who held onto a barricade as they did so. The organisation's account pointed to male officers from the police force having physically targeted women who were demonstrating, among them its leader Aishe Ghosh. According to the report, Father Biju Xavier, who serves as vicar of Sacred Heart Church, was taken into custody by officers while he was in the act of filming what the complaint described as a police action.

Physical harm came to Brittas at Sunday's demonstration against the CEC, where Delhi police officers are reported to have used force against him. He was taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital after collapsing onto the steps of a police bus, and at his bedside arrived both CPI(M) general secretary M. A. Baby and RJD MP Manoj Jha.

CPI(M) alleged that Brittas was subjected to force beyond what the situation warranted and left injured and distressed at the roadside, with the party maintaining that Delhi Police had overstepped its authority. Brittas raised concerns about what he described as disproportionate conduct by police, while also warning that Modi and Shah would face consequences for their actions. In a post on X, he described the Delhi police using language that compared their conduct to that of rabid animals, after which Brittas addressed written appeals to President Droupadi Murmu, the Rajya Sabha Chairman, and the Chief Justice of India, calling on each to intervene, establish accountability, and commission an independent inquiry into the police behaviour under scrutiny.

Twenty FIRs were lodged by Delhi Police on Sunday in relation to a demonstration held the previous day by CJP members outside the office of the Chief Election Commissioner, according to police officials.

Following their release from preventive detention, the three CJP figures — Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka, and Saurav Das — stated that their campaign against the CEC would continue, with plans to extend the movement across the country. Parties spanning the full range of political opinion were urged to present a unified front in opposing the special intensive revision of electoral rolls, with those behind the appeal contending that the procedure raises questions about voting rights too broad and too fundamental to be owned by any single political grouping.

A nationwide movement was put forward by the Congress party on Monday. On Monday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi — who holds the position of Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha — arranged to meet with the Chief Justice of India, seeking the court's intervention over allegations of electoral fraud described by the party as "vote chori". Separately, Dipke, Ranka, and Das had been brought before an executive magistrate and were freed on Sunday morning.

Following his grandmother's passing on Saturday, Dipke made his way to Nagpur to take part in the funeral observances held in her honour. The three CJP leaders were discharged on the undertaking that no disturbance of the peace would occur over the following twelve months.

Das attributed the breakdown of public order to Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and Kumar. Ranka drew a comparison between the preceding three days' events and the Emergency period, noting that train services had continued even in 1975, and contending that the Prime Minister and Union Home Minister had transformed what began as a protest directed at the Election Commission into a broader standoff with opposition parties.

Content creator Dhruv Rathee stated that roughly 20 individuals in civilian clothing arrived at his home on a Saturday morning, after which he was transported between multiple police stations and kept without access to either a phone or legal counsel for approximately 22 to 23 hours.

CJP leaders contended that train cancellations, curbs on public gatherings, and the detention of activists amounted to conditions resembling a state of emergency imposed by the government. Das put forward the position that the government had come to treat its own citizens as opponents, and held that a willingness to meet with a delegation from the protest movement would have offered a workable alternative to preventing demonstrators from assembling at the designated site.
