The Congress held protests across India seeking Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation and arrest amid reports of dissent within the Election Commission over the Special Intensive Revision.

A political dispute has erupted between the BJP and Congress over claims of internal dissent within the Election Commission of India. Speaking on To The Point, Congress spokesperson Adil Singh Boparai demanded the Chief Election Commissioner’s resignation and alleged that decisions involving statutory Form 6 were taken without proper authorisation. He termed the move an “act of fraud and forgery”. BJP spokesperson Radhika Khera rejected the claims as political posturing, saying administrative file notes and internal deliberations are routine. Separately, a 17-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped at Delhi’s Astha Kunj Park after visiting Kalkaji Temple. Three men posing as policemen allegedly assaulted her male friend and took them to a secluded area. The DDA later announced tighter park security.
