新德里：10月3日周六，印度警方在新德里拘捕了数人，从而打断了由“蟑螂人民党”等反对派团体发起的、旨在抗议选民名单变更的连续第二天抗议活动。
NEW DELHI: Indian police detained several people in the capital New Delhi on Saturday (Oct 3), disrupting a second day of protests backed by the Gen Z-led Cockroach Janta Party and other opposition groups against changes to voter rolls.
抗议者称，这些变更有利于总理纳伦德拉·莫迪所在的执政党，他们要求印度选举委员会主席辞职。
The protesters say the changes benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi's governing party and are demanding the resignation of India's election chief.
此次示威是今年涌现的一系列由青年主导的抗议活动中的最新一次，给执政12年的莫迪带来了前所未有的压力。
The demonstrations mark the latest in a series of youth-led protests that have emerged this year, putting pressure on Modi unprecedented in his 12 years in power.
周六，约100名示威者拆除了安全路障，高呼“窃票者，滚下台”“吉亚内什·库马尔，下台吧”等口号，随后警方强行拘捕了部分人。
About 100 demonstrators removed security barricades on Saturday and chanted "vote thief, leave the post" and "Gyanesh Kumar, step down" before police forcibly detained some of them.
2026年10月3日，在印度新德里，示威者举行抗议活动，要求印度首席选举委员会委员吉亚内什·库马尔辞职，期间有人试图冲破警方设置的路障。
Demonstrators push against a police barricade during a protest demanding the resignation of India's Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, in New Delhi, India, on Oct 3, 2026.
据路透社记者观察，独立议员卡皮尔·西巴尔、左翼组织“全印度学生协会”主席内哈·博拉以及政治活动家普拉尚特·布尚、约根德拉·亚达夫等人也参与了抗议。警方拒绝透露被拘捕者的人数及身份。
Independent Member of Parliament Kapil Sibal, left-wing All India Students' Association President Neha Bora and political activists Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav were among the protesters, according to a Reuters witness. The police declined comment on the number and identity of those detained.
“他们先是把民众从选民名单中剔除，现在又不允许我们对此发声。这是不可接受的，”博拉对路透社说道。
"First they removed people from the voters list and now they are not letting us raise our voice against this.
首席选举委员吉亚内什·库马尔尚未对此次抗议活动及下台诉求作出回应。
This is not acceptable," Bora told Reuters.
周五，警方阻止了一群抗议者聚集，并将他们强行押上巴士。由于安保措施严密，周边多个地铁站仍处于关闭状态。
The chief of the Election Commission, Kumar, has not commented on the protests and the demands to step down. On Friday, police stopped a group of protesters from gathering, bundling them into buses.
据警方消息人士透露，虽然警方当天释放了多数被拘捕者，但仍以涉嫌违反德里市禁止大规模集会的命令为由对其中数人提出了指控。
Several nearby metro stations remained shut amid tight security.
批评者指出，去年启动的全国性选民核查工作导致数百万符合资格的选民被从选民名单中剔除。
Though police released many of those detained on Friday, they charged several of them with allegedly violating orders banning mass gatherings in Delhi, according to a police source.
该委员会长期以来一直被视为该国最受信任的机构之一。它表示，此次行动的目的是清除名单中的重复选民、已故选民以及不符合选举资格的选民。
Critics say a nationwide voter-verification exercise launched last year has led to millions of eligible voters being removed from electoral rolls. The commission, long regarded as one of the country's most trusted institutions, says the exercise is intended to remove duplicate, deceased or ineligible voters.
周五，该委员会要求相关官员将那些符合选举资格但此前未被列入选民名单的选民补充到名单中。
On Friday the commission directed officials to newly eligible voters and those omitted from electoral rolls.
