  "account": "Delhi Police has debunked a viral video showing a massive protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar. The video, shared by several social media accounts including Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, has been identified as old footage from a past event, not a live protest. The Delhi Police warned that legal action could be taken against those spreading misleading content. This clarification comes amid a growing political row over the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demands for Kumar's resignation.",
  "summary": "Delhi Police has clarified that a video being shared regarding a recent protest is actually outdated material from a previous event. They have cautioned that those spreading false information could face legal consequences. Meanwhile, opposition parties are actively protesting against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar due to ongoing disputes about the electoral roll revision.",
