A Delhi executive magistrate court ordered the release of three Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders on Sunday, following their detention by Delhi Police. The leaders, identified as Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka, were taken into custody after police detained them from their flight upon landing in the national capital on Saturday. The arrests were made in connection with their reported attempts to stage a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
According to Ratna Singh, the party's legal affairs head, the court granted the release under a specific condition: the individuals must not engage in any “breach of peace for one year.” Delhi Police further confirmed that a surety bond of Rs 50,000 was filed as part of the legal requirements to ensure the maintenance of peace and good behavior during this period.
The authorities have maintained a firm stance regarding the recent protest activities in the capital. Delhi Police reported that they have registered more than 20 First Information Reports (FIRs) related to attempts to forcibly conduct protests on October 10. These legal cases include various charges, such as the obstruction of government work, assaulting police personnel, and the general disturbance of law and order. In addition to the three leaders released on Sunday, police confirmed that four other individuals have been detained in connection with these ongoing investigations.
Following their release, the CJP leaders are scheduled to hold a press conference at 2 pm on Sunday to address the situation. The developments follow a series of tense interactions between protesters and law enforcement in Delhi over the past several days, with the police continuing to manage the security situation across the city.
