Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka detained again for ‘sneaking’ into Jantar Mantar
Delhi Police apprehended leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and their supporters on Tuesday morning as they attempted to reoccupy the Jantar Mantar protest site, despite it being declared no longer a "designated site" for protests. The individuals detained were Ashutosh Ranka, Saurav Das, Ajinkya Shinde, along with other CJP party members, who entered the area carrying the national flag.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke alleged that the Delhi Police had detained the activists after they entered the protest site with the national flag. Dipke expressed his frustration on X, stating that the resistance cannot be negated and directed the message towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This incident is currently under investigation, and further updates will be provided periodically.
