A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Cockroach Janata Party co‑coordinators Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das by three days, keeping the earlier order intact.
The Delhi Sessions Court on Tuesday extended the judicial custody of Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, co‑coordinators of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), by an additional three days. The magistrate ordered that the existing custody, which had been in place for two days, remain unchanged while the extension is applied.
Both Ranka and Das were initially taken into custody as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged violations of the law. The court did not disclose any new charges, but indicated that further inquiry is required before a final decision can be reached.
The extension underscores the judiciary's caution in high‑profile political cases, ensuring that the suspects remain in custody while the probe continues. No further details were released at the time of the hearing.
