Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke levied serious allegations against authorities on Sunday, claiming “the state is deliberately prolonging” the arrest of CJP spokespersons Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, who were earlier sent to judicial custody.
Today, everything was complete, the verification was done, and all requirements were met. Meanwhile, CJP spokespersons Das and Ranka were sent to five days of judicial custody on Wednesday, a day after they breached the de-notified Jantar Mantar protest site. These remarks by Dipke came days after Ranka and Das were arrested for allegedly entering the Jantar Mantar area despite police orders. Over the past few weeks, Delhi has seen massive protests by CJP and the Opposition against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over the alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. Taking to X, the CJP founder wrote, “The state is deliberately prolonging Ashu and Saurav’s illegal arrest by using every dirty trick in the book to delay court proceedings and prevent their release. Follow live updates on the Delhi protest here . In the post, Dipke shared a video of CJP’s legal head Ratna Singh speaking to the media about the judicial custody of CJP co-convenors Das and Ranka. “We have been here since morning.
We were told that the entire hearing would take place at 12 pm.
We have been waiting here since noon,” she said.
