Delhi Police Clash With Youth Protesters Over Vote Claims

Police in New Delhi used force against young protesters on October 11, 2026, who allege Narendra Modi manipulated India's voting system. New York Times

The clash happened as the capital prepared for a second day of protests against the poll chief — the official who runs voting, like a referee. Protesters seeking the ouster, or removal, of India's election chief were detained and 'Cockroach' leaders were released. Reuters

The broader context here is what to watch next: how police handle the second day will affect trust in the election process.
