Police in the ⁠Indian capital have briefly detained opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, during a protest demanding the ⁠resignation of ⁠the chief ⁠election commissioner. An alliance of India’s opposition parties is marching to the Election Commission Headquarters in New Delhi. Protesters are accusing its chief, Gyanesh Kumar, of manipulating votes.
