India Court Orders Release of 'Cockroach' Movement Leaders After Detention
The court said the three CJP leaders were held nearly 24 hours as police widened restrictions to deter protests over Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
- On Sunday, the Executive Magistrate Court in New Delhi ordered the release of Cockroach Janta Party leaders Abhijit Dipke, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka following nearly 24 hours of preventive detention.
- Authorities detained the three leaders Saturday from an aircraft ahead of a protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over concerns about the Election Commission's handling of electoral rolls.
- The Delhi Police detained thousands during the day, including former Chief Ministers Mamata Banerjee, Arvind Kejriwal, Pinarayi Vijayan, and Manik Sarkar; authorities closed 45 metro stations and suspended mobile internet to deter gatherings.
- While police released most detainees on Saturday night, the CJP and Left groups have called for fresh protests on Sunday to continue their campaign against Kumar.
- In recent weeks, protests calling for Kumar to resign have occurred nationwide, with organizers describing the restrictive police measures—including train cancellations—as intimidation by authorities.
