  "account": "West Bengal's Special Task Force (STF) has arrested Hamim Mondal, a terror suspect, on July 31, 2026, for allegedly planning to infiltrate protests by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Delhi. Mondal is accused of collaborating with Pakistani outfits to carry out subversive activities during the protests, targeting high-profile individuals such as Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and other politicians, as well as multiple police officers. His associate, Arpita Sarkar, who was also arrested, was reportedly used as a honey-trap to abduct a State Minister's son. The STF Inspector-General, Gaurav Sharma, stated that Mondal had ties with multiple Pakistani terror organisations and that their investigation was ongoing, with more arrests anticipated. Gadgets, documents, bank transactions, and encrypted messages have been recovered and are being analyzed to further understand the suspect's plans and targets. Mondal was produced in court and is currently under 14 days' police custody.",
