India's 'cockroach' movement: "This is unprecedented"

Indian police detained Abhijeet Dipke, head of the satirical Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) movement, on Saturday ahead of a major protest against the Election Commission, the party said. "This is unprecedented," our guest Subir Sinha, director of the SOAS South Asia Institute, says.

What the coverage shows

All six outlets focus on police action in Delhi ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party protest, and most mention the founder Abhijeet Dipke plus other leaders being detained. BBC News and France 24 put the security response front and center, with both noting large deployments and barricades, while The Guardian US and South China Morning Post foreground the party’s accusation or the detention of its founder. Only Al Jazeera’s later update explicitly says the top leaders were detained after landing in New Delhi.
