Delhi Police Seeks Extended Custody for Cockroach Janata Party Leaders Over Jantar Mantar Protest

The Delhi Police has sought a five-day extension of judicial custody for Cockroach Janata Party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka following the completion of their initial five-day remand. Authorities cited the breach of an executed peace bond, alleged illegal entry into Jantar Mantar after it was denotified as a protest site, and law-and-order concerns ahead of the festive season. The Special Executive Magistrate court is currently hearing the matter regarding whether an extension of custody is warranted for the bailable offence under Section 126 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
