Hundreds of protesters continued to be detained in Delhi on Sunday, as demonstrations persisted in the Indian capital. The detention of protesters and the continued street action mark the latest development in the confrontation described in the report.
Leaders vow to continue
Leaders of the group referred to as the “cockroach” group, who have been freed, vowed to fight on. Their statement signals that the dispute remains active despite the release of its leaders.
The available report does not provide further details about the group, the reasons for the protests, the number of people released or the authorities’ response. It does establish that hundreds of protesters were still detained on Sunday and that demonstrations had not ended.
What happens next
For now, the immediate picture is defined by continued protests, ongoing detentions and a pledge from the group’s leaders to maintain their fight. Further developments will depend on how the detentions and demonstrations proceed.
