Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka kept under preventive arrest ahead of Jantar Mantar protest, says CJP
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has placed leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka under preventive arrest in anticipation of a fresh protest at Jantar Mantar, according to the group's legal head Ratna Singh. The arrest took place while the men were en route to Delhi from an airport, following their refusal to provide security for the protest.
They are expected to appear before the Delhi Cantonment magistrate on Sunday. Meanwhile, Ajinkya Shinde, another CJP member, announced that without the arrested leaders, protesters will march toward Jantar Mantar again on Sunday to continue their agitation until Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar resigns. This is the second day of the protest against Kumar, who has faced accusations of irregularities during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and voter lists.
