Delhi Police Seeks 3-Day Custody Extension for Saurabh Das, Ashutosh Ranka

Delhi Police has sought a three-day extension of judicial custody for Saurabh Das and Ashutosh Ranka before the Special Executive Magistrate. The duo was arrested on October 13 for illegal entry at Jantar Mantar. They were initially placed in five-day judicial custody on October 14, followed by an additional two-day remand on October 19. The latest hearing coincides with the Delhi High Court questioning the legality and maintainability of an urgent plea filed by the accused, advising them to pursue alternate remedies. Police requested further custody to continue their probe and interrogate them as the court decides whether to grant extended detention or bail.
