  "account": "The faces that became recognizable during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests in July made a reunion appearance on October 10, during protests in Delhi that led to the arrest of over 7,000 people. A new video posted by Instagram user Abhinav Bisht has reignited interest in the trio, Muhammad Shan and Nikhil Verma, who sparked attention online during the earlier demonstrations. The video features the trio, with the caption \"Ready for Season 2\", hinting at a return of the viral personalities. The CJP called for Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to step down over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. However, the Election Commission maintains that the exercise is a part of its electoral-roll verification process. Protesters during the July agitation used humour, memes and trending songs in their messaging to spread their message, helping individual protesters become recognizable beyond the protest site.",
