New Delhi: CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka’s judicial custody extended for two more days by the SEM in connection with the Jantar Mantar trespassing case.

Das and Ranka were produced before the SEM at Mandir Marg police station after their five-day judicial custody ended on Monday. Delhi Police had sought an extension of their judicial custody, while CJP’s legal affairs head, Ratna Singh, questioned the need for further detention, alleging that the prosecution had failed to present arguments on the law.

The two CJP leaders were sent to five-day judicial custody on October 14^th after they were detained for allegedly trespassing at Jantar Mantar, which has been de-notified as the designated protest site. Das and Ranka, along with party member Ajinkya Shinde, were among 14 people detained on October 13^th after they allegedly entered the protest site through private premises and obstructed police personnel from discharging their official duties.

CJP legal affairs head, Ratna Singh in her twitter x post said that we are still at SEM court, waiting for the court to dictate order. There is no reason to extend judicial custody. Today also, no argument was presented by PP on law. All his arguments were mere assumptions. Absolute waste of time of SEM Court.
