The CJP had called for a demonstration alleging voter-list manipulation during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and irregularities concerning Form 6, used for voter registration. They demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

SFI National President Adarsh M. Saji stated that over 400 members of the organization were detained after their march began around 10 a.m. The Delhi Police had denied permission for the protest at Jantar Mantar, citing security and procedural reasons.

Other CJP leaders, including Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka, were reportedly detained by Delhi Police upon their flight's arrival in the capital. The previous night, police visited HKS Surjeet Bhawan, where the SFI Central Executive Committee office is located, searching for potential protesters.

Following the detentions, AA Rahim, Rajya Sabha MP and DYFI president, announced a new protest, dubbed 'Jantar Mantar 2.0', at Nangloi Stadium. This protest includes a hunger strike demanding action against Inspector Pawan Tomar for alleged misconduct with women students and the return of phones and bags confiscated by the police.
