The co‑coordinator of the Cockroach Janata Party, Ashutosh Ranka, and fellow leader Saurav Das were released on bail by a Delhi court and are scheduled to exit jail after a week.
Delhi's court granted bail to Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, both serving as co‑coordinators of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). The judgment cleared the two leaders of custodial detention, allowing them to remain out of prison pending further proceedings.
According to court records, the bail order stipulates that the duo will be released from jail after completing a seven‑day period, as mandated by the ruling. No additional conditions were disclosed in the brief summary released by the court.
The CJP, a relatively new political outfit, has not issued an official statement on the bail decision as of the time of reporting. The legal outcome marks a significant development for the party's leadership, which had been under scrutiny following earlier allegations.
The case remains open, and the court retains the authority to revisit the bail terms should new evidence emerge. Observers note that the bail does not equate to an acquittal, and the investigation will continue.
The release is expected to occur on the scheduled date, after which Ranka and Das will resume their political activities pending any further judicial directives.
