Delhi Court Remands Two CJP Leaders to Five Days’ Judicial Custody

A Delhi Special Executive Magistrate remanded CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka to five days of judicial custody following police action over alleged entry into Jantar Mantar.

Background and legal issue

The police alleged that activists attempted to enter the protest location despite restrictions. Another leader, Ajinkya Shinde, was reported by LiveLaw as released on a personal bond.

Court’s reasoning and procedural position

The remand order concerns custody during proceedings, not a finding that the allegations are true. Reporting on a third activist’s status differed across publishers.

Legal consequence and next step

The custody and release positions must be checked against the signed remand order before final publication of any disputed individual status.
