Delhi Court Extends Judicial Custody of CJP Leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka
A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka until October 21. The two activists were originally arrested on October 14 and lodged in Tihar Jail for allegedly violating peace bonds and trespassing at Jantar Mantar. They had breached barricades and entered the area without authorization while demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police registered a case against them for trespassing, violating prohibitory orders, breaching peace bonds, and obstructing public servants. The arrests occurred amid heightened security following protests against electoral roll revisions.
