Resumen

Four claims were partially confirmed: large-scale demonstrations on October 12, 2026, involving the removal of 130 million names from voter lists in New Delhi resulted in mass arrests and a lockdown; Indian authorities intercepted and detained hundreds of demonstrators and movement leaders on October 10, 2026, ahead of a youth-led protest against the Election Commission's voter list revision; on October 11, 2026, authorities detained Cockroach Janta Party leaders, deployed around 43,000 security personnel, and suspended internet services as protesters tried to reach Jantar Mantar; and opposition leaders called for the Chief Election Commissioner to resign. One claim lacked sufficient evidence: the Cockroach Janta Party's announcement on October 3, 2026, to lead a nationwide march on October 10 if the Chief Election Commissioner did not step down.
