A Delhi court has sent Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, leaders of India's youth-led Cockroach Janata party movement, to Tihar prison for five days after they jumped police barricades and waved flags at Jantar Mantar, the central Delhi site (a road around an old observatory) that had served as the capital's designated protest ground for over 30 years. Police shut the site after detaining more than 7,000 people at a weekend rally demanding the resignation of election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, who is accused by critics of overseeing the mass removal of voters from electoral rolls, a charge the government and election commission deny. The crackdown has drawn criticism from the UN human rights chief and Amnesty, which India rejected as interference, raising concerns over the right to protest in the world's largest democracy. Note: the source describes Indian activists, not a Bangladeshi journalist as the requested headline suggested.
