  "account": "On Tuesday morning, members of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) including Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and Ajinkya Shinde were detained by Delhi Police at Jantar Mantar. The group claimed that the detained leaders were not allowed to meet with their lawyers and their phones were confiscated. Ratna Singh, CJP's legal head, took to social media platform X to make these allegations. The SHO of Jaffarpur Kalan police station denied the lawyers access to the detained individuals, raising questions about the legal authority behind the detention and the denial of legal representation. Earlier in the day, Das and Ranka were seen climbing over the locked gates of Jantar Mantar and entering the venue after losing its designated protest site status. CJP co-convenors Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were apprehended along with Ajinkya Shinde, who shared a video on his social media account showing the incident.",
