  "account": "On October 12, 2026, Rajya Sabha member A.A. Rahim filed a petition with the Supreme Court alleging illegal detention, secret transportation, and torture of Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) members by the police on October 11, 2026, in Connaught Place. The incident occurred when uniformed personnel intercepted unarmed protesters demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. They were allegedly dragged from the protest, forced into a bus, and taken to a secluded location where they were subjected to physical abuse inside a specialized police van with five separate cells. The petition seeks a declaration that the detention and use of unrecorded, mobile places of detention are illegal and violate fundamental rights, as well as an independent inquiry and compensation for the injured.",
  "summary": "The MP said the act of excess and detention was not a stray one, but planned and deliberately executed to mete out physical brutality",
