“A viral video shows a massive protest occurring at Delhi's Jantar Mantar against CEC Gyanesh Kumar.”

There have been consistent and verified reports of protests at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi throughout late September 2026, involving various political groups and activists, including the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) and the All India Students' Association (AISA), demanding the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar. These protests were largely triggered by reports concerning the Election Commission's handling of electoral rolls and internal dissent within the poll panel. However, fact-checking organizations have noted that some viral videos shared on social media platforms have been misattributed or presented as 'recent' when they actually depict earlier demonstrations from the same ongoing protest movement. Additionally, the Delhi Police denied permission for a specific planned protest on October 2, 2026, leading to heightened security measures in the area. The claim is 'mostly true' in that protests against the CEC at Jantar Mantar did occur, but the specific video being referenced in viral posts may be misleadingly framed regarding its exact timing or context.
