Delhi Police file FIR against CJP's Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and others for ‘trespassing’ into Jantar Mantar
The action came hours after Das, Ranka were detained for entering the heavily barricaded protest site and raising slogans demanding CEC's resignation.
The Delhi Police has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) - Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka - for allegedly entering the Jantar Mantar area without authorization. The incident occurred early Tuesday morning, with the activists allegedly trespassing despite prohibitory orders. The detained leaders - including Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and others - were picked up by the Delhi Police and taken to Jaffarpur Kalan Police Station.
The CJP, led by Dipke, stated that the denotification of Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site would not deter their ongoing agitation. Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar had announced new designated protest sites on October 11, including Ramlila Maidan, Burari Ground, and CBD Ground. The CJP criticized the decision, claiming it would weaken the visibility of public dissent.
The latest detentions come amid heightened security in New Delhi following protests against the Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's alleged involvement in irregularities during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
