The Crime Branch of Delhi Police issued notices to CJPE politicians Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and Ajinkya Shinde, asking them to appear for questioning in an ongoing probe.
Delhi Police's Crime Branch on Tuesday sent formal notices to three senior members of the Chhattisgarh Janata Party (CJPE) – Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and Ajinkya Shinde – directing them to appear for questioning. The summons were issued as part of an investigation that the police has not disclosed in detail, but which involves alleged wrongdoing linked to the party's activities in the capital.
According to a statement released by the police, the three leaders are required to cooperate with investigators and provide any information that may aid the inquiry. Non‑compliance could result in further legal action, the notice warned.
The move comes amid heightened scrutiny of political figures across Delhi, with law‑enforcement agencies stepping up efforts to ensure accountability. CJPE has not yet responded publicly to the summons, and the investigation remains ongoing.
The police have not indicated a specific timeline for the questioning, but have asked the leaders to contact the Crime Branch to schedule their appearance. The case is being handled under the jurisdiction of Delhi's law‑enforcement machinery.
Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses and the summoned individuals appear before the authorities.
