CJP Lawyer Claims Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka Arrested After Jantar Mantar Breach, Delhi Police Calls It Preventive
Police said the three CJP leaders were detained preventively after entering the denotified protest site without permission and facing trespass-related charges.
- On Wednesday, Delhi Police placed Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and Ajinkya Shinde under preventive arrest at Parliament Street Police Station in connection with the Jantar Mantar case.
- Activists entered the heavily barricaded Jantar Mantar—recently denotified as a protest site—on Tuesday and raised slogans demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
- Authorities booked the three under Section 329 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on charges of "trespass, bond violation, obstruction of public official's duty," with custody limited to 24 hours without magistrate approval.
- CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke alleged that police denied the leaders access to lawyers, calling the detention "kidnapping" and claiming authorities routinely hold CJP members overnight while releasing other protesters.
- These detentions follow a major security clampdown aimed at preventing the outfit's planned protests, as CJP members previously vowed to intensify their agitation against Kumar despite the legal risks.
