Crowds gathered across Delhi on Sunday to call for the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, with some participants pushing against police barriers during separate processions heading toward Jantar Mantar. For a third consecutive day, demonstrators drawn from university campuses, political party networks, and civil society groups assembled to voice their objection to the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.

Police documentation placed the number of people taken into custody during the demonstrations at around 110, while clashes with those gathered left 15 officers with injuries. Questions about the process used to update the voter rolls — and whether those responsible carried it out transparently — form the basis of what the objecting parties have in common.

On Sunday, members of the All India Students' Association (AISA) assembled near Andhra Bhawan Circle as part of a procession that set out in the direction of Jantar Mantar. According to accounts from activists, Neha Bora — who holds the position of national president within AISA — was placed under arrest after members of the organisation moved toward police barricades.

Members of AISA raised the claim that she was taken away in a vehicle bearing no official markings, a detail that Delhi Police neither disputed nor left unaddressed — the force placed her status on record as a formal detention. Bora was released during the afternoon hours that followed.

AAP members gathered independently at India Gate to stage their own protest. Police confirmed that a minimum of 25 party members were taken into custody, a group that included Delhi AAP president Saurabh Bharadwaj and MLA Sanjeev Jha. Bharadwaj stated that he was subjected to mistreatment while in custody, a claim that no independent source has so far been able to confirm.

As the atmosphere grew more fraught, those gathered began pushing against the road barriers erected near Jantar Mantar. About 5,000 officers — among them Rapid Action Force units — were positioned across the heart of Delhi ahead of the expected unrest. Surveillance cameras, aerial drones, and a layered system of barricades were deployed to monitor the crowds.

Three FIRs were filed by authorities in connection with the protest activity that took place on Friday. Each of these first information reports relates to conduct that allegedly breached prohibitory orders put in place under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Of the three complaints formally registered, two were lodged at the Parliament Street police station and one at the Connaught Place police station.

Three women journalists who were reporting on a demonstration at Jantar Mantar on Saturday lodged allegations of sexual harassment against Delhi Police personnel, adding a further dispute to the protests. The complaints were handed over to the Crime Branch arm of Delhi Police, where investigators will gather witness statements and assess any relevant evidence as part of a fuller inquiry. The Press Council of India raised questions about the protection of journalists covering such events.

Petitions centred on claims that key decisions tied to the Special Intensive Revision were taken without the requisite approvals or internal consultations at the Election Commission are due to come before the Supreme Court on Monday. The pending court hearings are expected to examine how the Election Commission carries out its work, with voter roll revision procedures and questions of electoral accountability in India among the matters likely to come before the bench.
