Episode Details

India’s capital is currently navigating a major security crisis as the Gen Z-led Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leads a mass protest demanding electoral reforms. The central conflict involves the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), a process that removed 130 million names from the national voters' list. CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke, along with senior organizers Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, was detained and subsequently released as 30,000 security personnel enforced a lockdown in Delhi. Today, the Supreme Court of India issued orders to restore internet and transit services, providing a critical check on the government's attempts to curtail the movement.
