Police did not respond to questions on detentions or their actions during a news conference on Sunday.
Several journalists covering the protest said they were detained despite prominently displaying their press cards.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said at least 16 journalists were detained during the weekend protests, calling the actions “unacceptable”.
“NOTHING TO FEAR”
The capital was bracing for a fresh showdown on Monday, with Gandhi, leader of the Congress party, urging supporters to join a march to the Supreme Court.
“There is nothing to fear,” he said on social media on Sunday. “These cowards can do absolutely nothing to us.”
Hundreds of yellow metal barricades were set up on roads leading to central Delhi, while six major metro stations remained shut.
The leaders of the CJP, which has millions of social media followers, have pledged to continue their protests until Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar steps down.
