CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Rankas judicial custody extended by two days

Special Executive Magistrate has extended the judicial custody of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka by two days until October 21. The leaders were initially detained on October 13 for allegedly scaling a locked gate at Jantar Mantar to protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The CJP has slammed the extension as absurd and accused authorities of using delaying tactics to stall their release.
