Four men have been taken into custody by Delhi police following an altercation involving protesters outside the Election Commission office. The suspects reportedly claimed affiliation with the Hindu Raksha Dal during the incident, which took place as demonstrators gathered to voice opposition to Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The protest was organized to challenge the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, a process that has drawn criticism from various groups.

The confrontation escalated into a physical assault, leading to the intervention of law enforcement. While the arrests have been confirmed, details regarding the specific charges filed against the four men remain limited. The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the electoral revision process, with protesters expressing concerns over the transparency and methodology of the SIR. Authorities are currently investigating the extent of the involvement of the Hindu Raksha Dal and whether the assault was a coordinated effort or an isolated event involving individuals claiming the group's name.
