  "account": "YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was apprehended in Gurugram upon his arrival in the Delhi-NCR region, ahead of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest planned for Saturday at Jantar Mantar. Rathee intended to join the demonstration against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, who is also set to attend the protest. However, the Delhi Police denied permission for the demonstration, citing security and procedural reasons. The CJP party accused the government of manipulating voter lists during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) and changes to Form 6 for voter registration. They also demanded Kumar's resignation. Delhi Police enforced prohibitory orders in New Delhi, restricting entry and exit at 45 metro stations. Rathee's detention followed the CJP's founder, Abhijeet Dipke, leaving Mumbai for Delhi to participate in the protest. Dipke accused the government of an unprecedented clampdown and train cancellations, expressing concern over the restrictions against supporters.",
