The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has claimed that Delhi Police arrested 3 of its leaders in connection with the Jantar Mantar case. The organisation said Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and Ajinkya Shinde were taken to Parliament Street police station.

CJP legal head Ratna Singh said the three could be produced before a court and may be sent to judicial custody. Delhi Police had not issued official confirmation of the alleged arrests at the time of the report.

What CJP has alleged

In a , Singh said the alleged arrests involved accusations of entering without permission, violating bond conditions and obstructing a government official. She also claimed that the three were expected to appear before an SCM court.

Singh further alleged that the men were not allowed to meet their lawyers until late at night. According to her account, they were brought to Parliament Street police station in a private van at night 3:00.

These details come from CJP's account. The police position on the alleged arrests, the accusations and the claimed restrictions on legal access has not been provided in the available material.

The latest claim follows the detention of Das and Ranka after they allegedly entered Jantar Mantar by climbing over a wall. The report says the protest site had been removed from the list of permitted demonstration locations. Delhi Police allegedly accused the two leaders of violating bail conditions.

Dispute over the protest site

CJP's account says the leaders had gone to Jantar Mantar to hoist the national flag. Singh argued that the organisation's volunteers and lawyers were prevented from meeting those in custody.

She alleged that officers at the site said they were acting on instructions from higher authorities. Singh described the police action as arbitrary and claimed that legal requirements were being ignored.

Singh also alleged that people were being held for long periods while designated protest sites were being removed from official lists. She said peaceful protesters were facing strict action and described the alleged arrests as unlawful.

The CJP legal head disputed the accusations attributed to the police, saying the offences mentioned had not actually occurred. She claimed the arrests were intended to frighten protesters and discourage demonstrations.

a police statement confirming the arrests, explaining the alleged offences or detailing the next court process is not yet available. It also does not establish whether the court ordered judicial custody.

Conclusion

CJP has claimed that 3 leaders were arrested after the Jantar Mantar episode, but Delhi Police has not officially confirmed the allegation in the available information. The next verified development would be the police position or details from the court appearance.
