  "account": "MNS chief Raj Thackeray has removed a documentary about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani from his social media accounts after Mumbai Police Chief requested it. The documentary, which was posted by Sabir Bhatia, had already garnered over 48 lakh views on X. Thackeray claimed he had been raising concerns about close ties between Adani and Modi since January 2026, prior to the Mumbai elections. On October 18, the Mumbai Police issued notices to 24 X accounts over the documentary, which was accused of containing false and disparaging claims about Modi and Adani. Thackeray stated that he was honoring the request made by the head of the Mumbai Police. He also noted that the documentary provided complete information about the length of the friendship between Adani and Modi, as well as how the Adani Group was trying to dominate the entire nation.",
  "summary": "Meanwhile, MNS leaders were also surprised by the removal of the documentary, considering it was screened in one of the party's shakhas on Saturday",
