  "account": "Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leader Abhijeet Dipke and co-conveners Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were released from detention nearly 24 hours after their arrest in Delhi. The executive magistrate ordered their release, but required them to \"not breach peace\" for one year. The three were detained as soon as Flight AI 2428 landed at 10:18 am, with airport officials moving the plane to a remote bay to allow police and security personnel to be ready. Upon release, Dipke, Das, and Ranka were seen smiling and waving to the camera. Their release came after the arrest of around 7,000 Delhi residents during a crackdown on CJP's attempt to protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Despite this, CJP announced their agitation would continue, even as Delhi Police maintained a strict clampdown. The release of the CJP leaders occurred shortly after YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was also let go late on Saturday, following his detainment before the protest. Meanwhile, Dipke's paternal grandmother Savitribai passed away in Maharashtra on the same day, hours after his arrest, leaving the family unsure if he would be able to attend her funeral.",
