· India · Indian Express, Hindustan Times
Delhi Police arrested Cockroach Janta Party leaders Ashutosh Ranka, Saurav Das, and Ajinkya Shinde on Wednesday for entering the restricted Jantar Mantar area. The leaders were previously released on October 10 after furnishing bonds of ₹50,000 each, which mandated they refrain from illegal activities for one year. Police stated the arrests followed a breach of these bond conditions during a protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The accused have been remanded to five days of judicial custody at Tihar jail. Under the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, bonds serve as legal undertakings to ensure an accused person adheres to court-mandated conditions for release.
