CJP Leaders Face Custody Delays Amid Bail Hearing

Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka remain in custody following their October 14 arrest for scaling locked gates at the denotified Jantar Mantar protest site. Activist Ratna Singh alleged that Sunday's bail hearing was delayed due to the Special Executive Magistrate's absence.

Singh further claimed authorities rejected four sureties on vague grounds, citing prior protest-related FIRs as evidence of criminal antecedents. While the leaders assert their actions were a peaceful display of the national flag, they remain detained pending further proceedings before the magistrate court.

Editor's note: Well-synthesized, though it omits that the protest was specifically against CEC Gyanesh Kumar and the electoral roll revision.
