Photos: Protests over voter lists escalate in India’s capital

Thousands of protesters in New Delhi marched demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, protesting the removal of over 133 million names from voter lists since last year. Opposition parties and the youth-led Cockroach Janta movement have defied security measures, with arrests of protesters and journalists. The controversy centers on the large-scale revision of electoral rolls, accused of benefiting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP, which the Election Commission denies.
