Indian police detain opposition leader Rahul Gandhi outside PM Modi's residence amid Cockroach movement protests
Indian police forcibly removed and detained opposition Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi and other opposition figures during a sit-in protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence on July 21, 2026. The protest followed a police crackdown on July 20 in which nearly 180 people were injured when officers used tear gas and batons against youth-led 'Cockroach movement' demonstrators marching on parliament. The movement, demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over medical exam paper leaks, has drawn widespread youth support across India.

The split, in one line
Coverage agrees on the core facts but splits on emphasis: some outlets foreground Gandhi's arrest and political confrontation while others center the student movement's demands and scale; Al Jazeera alone highlights Gandhi's possible injury and Priyanka Gandhi's arrest, details others omit or downplay.
