Delhi witnessed heightened security, detentions, Metro station closures and traffic restrictions ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) protest against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The detention of CJP leaders Abhijeet Dipke and Saurav Das, along with reports of YouTuber Dhruv Rathee being picked up, brought the debate over security and the right to protest into focus. The developments recall earlier mass movements in the capital, including Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement in 2011 and the protests following the 2012 Nirbhaya gang rape case. While the causes and circumstances differed, both movements brought demands for accountability into the national spotlight. As Delhi tightens security around Jantar Mantar, a larger democratic question emerges: how should authorities balance public order with the right to peaceful dissent? Watch News9's report on the Delhi security measures, political protests and the debate over democratic rights. #delhiprotest
