  "account": "India's opposition parties, led by Rahul Gandhi, protested against the Election Commission on October 6, marching from Parliament to confront election officials over controversy surrounding CEC Gyanesh Kumar and the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Over 300 opposition MPs joined the march, with Priyanka Gandhi briefly detained. Meanwhile, India condemned the attack on a commercial vessel, MT On Peace, off the Oman coast, where 12 crew members, including 11 Indians, were injured and evacuated. Belgian physicist Francis Halzen won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. India played their first T20I in the five-match series against West Indies in Lucknow, with the match coming after India's gold medal at the Asian Games. The Indian team rested Jasprit Bumrah while West Indies entered the series after their ODI win over India.",
