CJP Leaders Arrested Over Jantar Mantar Flash Stir, Produced In Court

Delhi Police have placed Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and Ajinkya Shinde under preventive arrest following an unauthorised flash protest at Jantar Mantar. The stir occurred after authorities denotified Jantar Mantar as a designated protest venue. The leaders, along with supporters carrying the national flag, allegedly breached barricades and climbed locked gates. Police registered an FIR against them for trespassing, citing allegations of scaling gates near the Janata Dal (United) office. Authorities are also probing whether the demonstration breached a one-year peace bond reportedly signed by the leaders during earlier detentions. CJP representatives contested the police claim, maintaining that no such peace bond was executed and defending their right to demonstrate. Meanwhile, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke alleged that the detained leaders were held unlawfully, denied access to legal counsel, and had their phones confiscated. The arrested leaders are being produced before an executive magistrate.
