  "account": "Good evening. In today's HT Evening Brief, we bring you the top stories from politics, India, and around the world. Prime Minister Narendra Modi received Uzbekistan's highest state honor, the 'Order of Oliy Darajali Do'stoklik', from President Shavkat Mirziyoyev during his visit to Central Asia. Meanwhile, in Manipur, police arrested 22-year-old M Manik Uddin Laskar and his wife for the murder of a woman whose dismembered body was found in a suitcase on a Delhi-bound train. In Delhi, activist Sonam Wangchuk observed that the founders of the Cockroach Janta Party have political ambitions, but emphasized that this ambition isn't inherently negative and hopes to see more young leaders step into politics. Finally, in cricket, 15-year-old Yash Sooryavanshi from Bihar was promoted to stand-in captain for East Zone in the Duleep Trophy semi-final, following an injury to regular skipper Ishan Kishan.",
