  "account": "The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has placed Ajinkya Shinde in charge of organising a protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, following the detention of founder Abhijeet Dipke and fellow leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka. The three leaders were taken from their flight upon arrival in Delhi on Saturday and are currently held in detention.\n\nIn a pre-recorded video posted on X, Dipke announced that Shinde would lead the protest for as long as the three leaders remained in detention. The party accused the police of taking the leaders to an undisclosed location and denying them access to their lawyers and other communications.\n\nThe CJP claimed that the detentions were a calculated effort to prevent their leaders from attending the planned protest demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation over alleged electoral roll manipulation and changes to Form 6 for voter registration. The party demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the detained leaders, condemning their arrest as a pre-planned attempt to hinder the protest.\n\nThe CJP's actions come amid a broader security crackdown in Delhi, which includes Metro station restrictions, train cancellations, and heightened checks at border points.",
