  "account": "On Saturday, around 150 protesters, including AISA national president Neha Bora, Yogendra Yadav, and Prashant Bhushan, were detained while attempting to reach Jantar Mantar, the designated protest site. The police action drew criticism from Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, who alleged misconduct involving women protesters. Gandhi urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to \"answer for this\". Despite the journalist alleging that Delhi Police was not registering an FIR, a probe was reportedly underway. The protesters had gathered near Patel Chowk and began marching towards Jantar Mantar, following a call by Bora after she was detained on Friday. Police had denied permission for Friday's demonstration and imposed prohibitory orders in New Delhi district. Detained protesters were taken to different police stations and later released. The Communist Party of India's Rajya Sabha member, P Sandosh Kumar, wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah concerning the removal or concealment of police officers' identity tags during detentions.",
