CJP seeks urgent hearing in Delhi High Court challenging judicial custody of Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has moved the Delhi High Court for an urgent hearing, arguing against the extension of judicial custody for its leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka. Ratna Singh, CJP’s legal head, stated that the two political activists should not be held in custody for any extended period due to political motives.
The bail proceedings have reportedly been deliberately delayed to prevent the release of the leaders. Initially, Das and Ranka were taken into custody on October 13 after they allegedly entered Jantar Mantar, which had been denotified as a designated protest site, by climbing a locked gate. They were initially placed under five-day judicial custody.
