Aam Aadmi Party leaders and workers, along with its student wing ASAP, organised a protest march near India Gate against Chief Election Commissioner Ganesh Kumar. Senior leaders, including Saurabh Bhardwaj and Kuldeep Monu, joined the demonstration. Delhi Police and paramilitary forces set up heavy barricading on roads leading to India Gate, noting that protests are restricted in the high-sensitivity area. Security forces began detaining AAP leaders and demonstrators, leading to tense standoffs as party workers blocked police buses transporting detained members.
