  "account": "Security measures were intensified outside the Parliament Street police station on Monday (October 12, 2026) as members of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) prepared to request a new date for their planned protest at Jantar Mantar. This follows the police's denial of permission for their originally scheduled demonstration on October 10. CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka, along with Saurav Das, Ratna Singh and other party officials, would be visiting the police station to negotiate a date for a peaceful protest at the specified location. Ranka stated that if the Delhi Police provided a date within 24 hours, the protest would proceed peacefully. Outside the police station, a public announcement warned individuals about security restrictions and prohibitory orders, urging them to observe peace and refrain from unauthorized gatherings. The increased security measures were prompted by two days of protests in central Delhi by student groups and CJP supporters, with the police employing personnel and barricades to obstruct protesters' access to Jantar Mantar. This incident occurred amidst a broader security crackdown in the capital, with the Delhi Police limiting demonstrations across New Delhi. The police had previously rejected the CJP's request for a protest on October 10 on October 9, 2026, citing non-compliance with a previous undertaking, short notice, the need for a ten-day notice, and concerns over law and order and traffic management. Das had submitted an 'intimation letter' to the police regarding the proposed demonstration on October 7.",
