Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das came down heavily on the Centre at their first press conference after coming out of 24-hour detention by the Delhi Police.
Das said the entire country was in an emergency-like situation, with protesters being detained, transport curbs in place and internet services shut down in parts of the national capital.
They want to put the genZ movement in bad light,” Das told reporters on Sunday. Earlier reporting noted: NEW DELHI: An executive magistrate court on Sunday released Cockroach Janta Party ( CJP ) leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka from detention, a day after Delhi Police detained them following their arrival in the national capital ahead of a planned protest at Jantar Mantar. Earlier reporting noted: The three leaders were detained by Delhi Police immediately after their flight landed in the national capital on Saturday and were subsequently placed under preventive arrest ahead of the planned protest at Jantar Mantar, police said.
The CJP leader continued his attack on the Modi government, saying they knew they would be detained but did not expect it to happen this way. Track live updates from CJP protest “Entire delhi is like a fort with 40,000 personnel. They are trying to give a negative image to our movement…by shutting 50+ metro stations, shops, roads.
Earlier reporting noted: In a post on X after their release, CJP said, “Finally Delhi Police is forced to release Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das.
“They gave us no papers or grounds of detention. They seized our phones forcefully using female cops. Imagine what they must be doing to others. Das then alleged that their phones might have been cloned. “We suspect what all they must have done to our phones. We think they hacked our phones. Or cloned our phones. Maybe they planted evidence. And this is a rational doubt.
Since they gave us no document and had our phones for over 24 hours,” Das said.
“When we landed, police immediately jumped into the stairs leading to the plane and abducted us,” he said. Das added their phones were taken away after their detention and they were told that no lawyer could be provided to them during detention. We still gave our phones and asked for seizure memo but they refused to do so…We have a legal right to a lawyer but police said no. They said that under detention, we have no rights. He said the government was doing all this to protest Gyanesh Kumar, whom he described as a traitor.
