  "account": "Today, the Delhi Police Crime Branch summoned three leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) - Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and Ajinkya Shinde - for questioning in relation to recent protests at Jantar Mantar. The leaders were ordered to appear in court following their release from judicial custody on October 21.\n\nThe Special Executive Magistrate's court at Mandir Marg released CJP leaders Das and Ranka on bail after they provided personal and surety bonds of Rs 50,000 each. The court directed them to refrain from organizing protests at Jantar Mantar until the site is denotified as per legal requirements. Both leaders were also warned that any future protests must comply with constitutional principles.\n\nOn a related note, the Bombay High Court recently expressed deep concern over the deteriorating air quality in Mumbai, labeling the environmental crisis as an emergency. The court is now awaiting a clear action plan from municipal authorities regarding dust mitigation and industrial emissions controls.",
