FIR Filed After SEM Threatened in CJP Leaders' Bail Case
Delhi Police register FIR against unknown persons for threatening a Special Executive Magistrate during bail proceedings for CJP leaders.
The Delhi Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against unidentified individuals for allegedly threatening a Special Executive Magistrate (SEM). The threats were reportedly made in connection with the bail proceedings of Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, leaders of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), according to official sources.
The Legal Battle of CJP Leaders
The controversy stems from the arrest of Das, Ranka, and several others on October 12. The Delhi Police apprehended the activists for allegedly trespassing at Jantar Mantar, a location that has been de-notified as a designated venue for protests. Following their arrest, the two leaders were remanded to five days of judicial custody.
The party has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, with CJP national organisation in-charge Ajinkya Shinde taking to social media to question the detentions. In a post on X, Shinde argued that waving the national flag is not a crime and labeled the arrests of Ashu and Saurav as illegal.
Activists Vow to Fight Back
Amidst the legal turmoil, CJP activist Abhijeet Dipke has stated that the group will not be intimidated by police actions. Dipke, who was granted conditional bail on Saturday after being detained at the Mandir Marg Police Station, spoke about the party's resilience.
Dipke had been detained by the Delhi Police ahead of a planned "Lehra Do Tiranga" rally scheduled to take place at Central Park in Connaught Place. Despite these setbacks, he expressed confidence in the eventual release of his colleagues.
"Once Saurav and Ashu come, we will gather, restrategize, and determine how to move forward. Given what we have witnessed over the past few days, including the illegal arrests and detentions, it is clear that there is an attempt to intimidate us. However, we will neither be intimidated nor back down," Dipke stated.
Next Steps for the Party
Dipke revealed that he is coordinating with advocate Vrinda Grover to navigate the legal complexities of the case. The party intends to regroup and formulate a new strategy once Das and Ranka are released from custody, viewing the current situation as part of a "long battle."
While the CJP leaders fight for their freedom, the Delhi Police are now investigating the threats made against the Special Executive Magistrate to identify and apprehend the persons responsible for the intimidation.
