Diljit Dosanjh's Delhi concert faces uncertainty as police cite security concerns

Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, co-convenors of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), were recently released from Tihar Jail after seven days of judicial custody. Barely a day later, the Delhi Police Crime Branch summoned the duo in connection with a trespassing case. Ranka and Das are scheduled to appear at the Rajouri Garden office of the Crime Branch by noon on Thursday.

The two cases against the leaders were transferred to the Crime Branch on October 13, following their intrusion into the Jantar Mantar protest site on October 13. The Janata Dal (United) filed a complaint against the leaders after they unfurled the Indian flag and jumped barricades at the protest site. On Wednesday, Das and Ranka were released from custody after promising the Special Executive Magistrate that they would not call for protests at Jantar Mantar.

As part of their conditions, the duo provided a written undertaking to the Special Executive Magistrate, promising to maintain 'peace and tranquility' and not organize any protests at Jantar Mantar until the order of de-notification is issued by law. Both leaders also provided personal bonds and surety bonds worth Rs 50,000 as part of their SEM order.
