  "account": "Mumbai Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) linked to a protest at August Kranti Maidan, following a call by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Over 400 individuals were detained in Mumbai during the demonstration. The FIR has been filed under Sections 223, 126(2), 189(2), 189(3), and 189(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The police themselves made the complaints. The protest was organized by Tushar Gandhi, great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, in support of CJP's demand for CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, amid controversy over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Bollywood actor Imran Khan was also detained at August Kranti Maidan and shared a picture of himself in a police van. In Delhi, around 1,000 protesters were detained while attempting to march towards Jantar Mantar for a CJP-led protest demanding CEC Gyanesh Kumar's resignation.",
