New DelhiPolice detained 160 marchers, including Prashant Bhushan and Yogendra Yadav.
They demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resign over voter-roll deletions in the special intensive revision.
Police cite Section 163 prohibitory orders, in force a second day, and say no prior notice was given.
“The more the repression, the more voices will take to the streets,” said Bhushan, a senior advocate.
Yadav has called a citizens’ march from India Gate on 4 October.
