Court Extends Custody of CJP Leaders Over Jantar Mantar Protest

Hindustan Times · politics

A Special Executive Magistrate court extended the judicial custody of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das by two days. The court cited their "no respect for law" and "habitualness" in calling protests at de-notified sites like Jantar Mantar. Police investigations indicated the leaders mobilized the public and breached security assurances. The court rejected their sureties, stating their future assurances "does not inspire confidence" and that their conduct raises concerns about public peace.
