Watch: Met Police interview Brand in 2025
Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three sexual assaults at Southwark Crown Court.
CJP co-conveners Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka faced the Delhi Police Crime Branch on November 5, 2026, in connection with trespassing cases at Jantar Mantar. Ranka stated that the leaders would fully cooperate with the investigation. Das dismissed foreign funding allegations as baseless, accusing right-wing groups of discrediting the movement.
The leaders were arrested on October 13 after waving the national flag at the protest site, violating a peace bond they had signed two days prior. Two FIRs were registered, and the cases were later transferred to the Crime Branch for questioning. The leaders were released from Tihar jail on October 21 after posting personal and surety bonds.
Ranka vowed confidence in a fair investigation, while Das criticized the continuation of baseless allegations by government officials.
