Curbs fail to mute anti-SIR chorus sweeping states

From Mahatma Gandhi’s great-grandson being held for 10 hours in Mumbai to police stopping marches in multiple cities, Saturday’s anti-SIR protests triggered detentions and security clampdowns across states. Demonstrators demanded CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation and withdrawal of SIR of poll rolls. In Mumbai, cops detained Tushar Gandhi, actor Imran Khan and others, while barricades blocked access to August Kranti Maidan.
