  "account": "What prompted Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), to question the presence of police near his residence in Karol Bagh? Dipke alleged that police personnel had been stationed around the house where he is currently staying, in anticipation of a \"Lehra Do Tiranga\" march organized by his party and the All India Students' Association. The two-story house, situated on Rani Jhansi Road, is owned by Anish Gawande, spokesperson for the Nationalist Congress Party.\n\nUpon learning of Dipke's claims, Gawande expressed amusement at the significant police deployment surrounding his residence over recent days, particularly prior to the Tiranga March. Gawande pointed out that such a substantial police force should be better utilized to ensure women's safety and reduce crime in the capital city.\n\nA senior police officer confirmed that authorities are monitoring the situation but denied any specific arrangement of police forces outside the residences of any residents. Dipke and CJP legal head Ratna Singh further accused police and intelligence officials of deploying around the residence. They questioned the motives behind such deployment, asking, \"What are you scared of? Is waving the Tricolour in this country a crime?\" Dipke emphasized that his party members follow the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and B R Ambedkar, and they intend to peacefully unfurl the flag at Connaught Place, asserting their fundamental right to do so.",
