After journalists covering the protests in New Delhi were detained and forcibly prevented from doing their work, social media posts documenting the police crackdown are now disappearing from platforms. Several videos accusing the police of using excessive force against protesters demanding the resignation of chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar have been restricted by Meta. In some cases profiles have been blocked in India.
The protests, organised by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) and Leftist student outfits, have continued for over four days.
