  "account": "In New Delhi's Connaught Place, over 20,000 Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces personnel were on alert as the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) organized its 'Lehra Do Tiranga' protest on Friday. The Inner and Outer Circles of Connaught Place were heavily guarded, with Central Park closed due to NDMC orders. As the protesters did not gather at the park, they instead occupied multiple corners around Connaught Place, including Palika Bazaar, holding national flags and sloganeering. By 5 pm, small groups of 50-60 people began marching, with demonstrators chanting slogans against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh and demanding the resignation of former CEC. The protest grew, with AISA president Neha leading a group of around 200 protesters in a march from Mandi House Circle, raising demands for Gyanesh's resignation and the release of CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke. As the march entered Connaught Place, DCP New Delhi Sachin Sharma ordered the clearance of traffic and the removal of protesters, detaining around 100 individuals. By 8 pm, the area was mostly back to normal, with sporadic demonstrations continuing.",
