Legal Head of CJP Alleges Intentional Delay in Court Release of Detained Leaders

UPDATE - follow-up to Anti-CEC protest LIVE | Rahul Gandhi warns Modi, Shah, CEC Gyanesh Kumar will pay price for 'vote chori': The Cockroach Janta Party legal head Ratna Singh stated that court proceedings for the release of co-convenors Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were deliberately delayed. Singh claimed that all required formalities had been completed for their release. According to Singh, the Special Executive Magistrate concentrated on an alleged threatening message instead of reviewing the merits of the release plea.

Background

Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke also alleged that the State used delaying tactics to keep Ranka and Das behind bars without proper legal grounds. Dipke was himself released on Saturday from police custody after signing a peace bond. Protests concerning election roll revisions and related detentions have continued across multiple regions alongside ongoing legal scrutiny.
