  "account": "The Supreme Court recently dismissed all FIRs related to the recent student protest held at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. This allowed the government to proceed against 2,873 individuals identified by the Delhi Police's facial recognition software (FRS) as having criminal records. The police emphasized that further verification would be carried out before any action is taken. Among the 2,873 individuals, The Indian Express focused on those accused of murder, attempted murder, rape, and child abuse. Of these, at least 25 people on the list were already incarcerated as per police, jail, and court records.",
