How can I understand this sentence?

This is an excerpt from a newspaper article:
"One of the marchers, Rishi Raj Vyas, 16, filled in the blanks."

What does "filled in the blanks" mean?

Could you tell me, please?

It refers to the 'blanks' in our understanding of the issue. The interviewee told us things that would help us to know what it was all about. Think of a sentence explaining something and every second word is a blank space, rather than a word.
