Protests in India’s capital Delhi have called for the resignation of its election chief Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the revision of electoral rolls. The Election Commission has denied wrongdoing. Thousands of police and paramilitary forces have been deployed over the last week to control the protest. Many detentions and instances of alleged misuse of power have been reported. Delhi Police said restrictions on public gatherings were in force during the demonstrations. After an opposition march towards the Supreme Court on Monday, police registered multiple First Information Reports over alleged barricade-breaking and graffiti, according to reports. In this interview to the BBC’s Jugal Purohit and Deepak Jasrotia, a protester discusses police action during protests, accountability in government and the role of opposition parties in a democracy. #delhipolice #delhiprotest #indiaprotests #gyaneshkumar #India #Democracy #Protests #Shorts Click here to subscribe to
