Leader of Indian 'cockroach' protest movement released from custody

The leader of India’s Tarakanov protest movement, Abhijit Dipke, was released from custody along with two other leaders. This was reported by his lawyer.

Earlier, Delhi police detained Dipke on the eve of the protest. He was met at the airport after arriving from Mumbai and asked to cancel the rally.

The action was organized by a youth movement demanding the resignation of the country's chief election commissioner. Authorities banned the protest.

Earlier in Nepal, authorities urged villagers to evacuate after flooding caused by a landslide. A major flood in August had already caused catastrophic consequences.
