Police in New Delhi fired tear gas and used batons to break up a protest dubbed the “Cockroach” rally, with thousands of students and young people marching toward parliament despite being denied permission. Authorities also cut off mobile internet, barricaded roads, and shut nearby metro stations. Protesters say officers hit demonstrators with wooden sticks and tear gas, while police deny excessive violence. Demonstrators retaliated by throwing stones, injuring about 50 officers, according to local reports.
