What happened

Indian opposition politicians and journalists alleged that police had been heavy-handed in cracking down in protests that swept New Delhi over the weekend in response to a nationwide voter roll revision that critics say disproportionately affects Muslim and other minority voters. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi called for a fresh march to the nation's Supreme Court Monday.
