Indian police detained the head of the satirical "cockroach" online movement on Saturday, the group said, ahead of a major protest against the Election Commission that prompted strict security measures.
"They seem to have seen that coming," notes France 24’s Andrew Hilliar. In a prerecorded video, Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Party, names an interim leader to take over.
