CJP alleges delay in release of leaders, four sureties rejected
Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were sent to five days of judicial custody on October 14 after they entered Jantar Mantar, which had been denotified as a designated protest site, by scaling its locked gates
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) chief spokesperson, Saurav Das, and national spokesperson, Ashutosh Ranka, were detained by police after entering Jantar Mantar, a protest site, despite heavy barricading and a strong security presence. They were denied bail on October 18, 2026, after five days of judicial custody, as the Special Executive Magistrate (SEM) was late to the hearing, according to activist Ratna Singh.
The activists alleged that four sureties were rejected on vague grounds, and the police did not respond to these claims.
