Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka have moved the Delhi High Court challenging the extension of their judicial custody, after a Special Executive Magistrate ordered that they remain in custody for another two days on October 19.
Das and Ranka were detained on October 13 for allegedly climbing the locked gates of Jantar Mantar while waving the national flag. The site had earlier been de-notified as a designated protest venue. A day later, on October 14, they were sent to five days of judicial custody.
