Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi, along with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, were detained by Delhi Police during a protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence.

The protest, organized by the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and reforms in the education system.

Over 178 protesters and 118 police personnel were injured in clashes with security forces, with authorities criticizing the protesters' 'violent behaviour'.

Gandhi accused the government of avoiding accountability for the crackdown on student protests, which followed examination scandals that eroded confidence in India's testing system.

The CJP, which has gained millions of social media followers since May, continues its campaign despite police crackdowns, with organizers vowing to persist until their demands are met.The incident highlights growing public frustration over job shortages and educational inequities in India's largest democracy.
