YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was detained at his home in Gurgaon, Haryana, prior to a planned protest. He intended to join the Cockroach Janta Party's demonstration demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Rathee was taken into custody due to the unlawful nature of the planned protest, which lacked police permission. Approximately 30 policemen in plainclothes enforced prohibitory orders during the event.
