Police baton-charge supporters of India's cockroach movement as thousands gather for march on parliament

Police clashed with thousands of supporters of India's youth-led "cockroach movement" in New Delhi, as they attempted to march on parliament without official permission. This movement, which started months ago, has rapidly grown into a significant challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration, attracting millions of followers on social media. The police's forceful intervention, including baton-charging and dispersing hunger-striking activists, underscores the tension between grassroots activism and government authority, highlighting the broader implications for political dissent in India.
