  "summary": "The Supreme Court will hear a plea regarding the suitability of Jantar Mantar as a protest site in Delhi. The court has asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta to take instructions on the matter.\n\nIn a related note, wrestlers including Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, and Sangeeta Phogat had protested for months in New Delhi in 2023. They were demanding the arrest of former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over allegations of sexual harassment.\n\nThe protest led to the police filing an FIR against Singh in May 2023, following the Supreme Court's intervention. A chargesheet was filed in June 2023. Singh was later acquitted by a Delhi court on August 3, 2026.",
