  "account": "Ahead of the CJP's October 10 protest in New Delhi, the party alleged that their spokesperson, Deepak Baliyan, was allegedly detained and brutally assaulted by the Alwar Police. Over 10,000 individuals across the country were reportedly detained in anticipation of the march to Jantar Mantar to demand the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The CJP accused Alwar Police of targeting CJP activists along with individuals from student, farmer, and Dalit organisations, as well as political parties. After Baliyan began recording videos and speaking with CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka, police reportedly took him away despite initially leaving his residence. Ranka claimed that Baliyan, who was recovering from a leg fracture, suffered severe injuries when police dragged him from his home. The party questioned whether the situation was reminiscent of the Emergency. Alwar Police officials did not respond to inquiries for comment.",
