Amit Shah said a 12 October opposition march drew only 8,000 people.

A 2 October 2026 reel identifies journalist Harsh as he repeatedly refers to his press card during police action near Jantar Mantar.

Protester says Gyanesh Kumar should be jailed: What election-law protections, voter-roll disputes and protest detentions actually show

A September 2026 protest clip accuses Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of escaping accountability while critics face action.
