Jantar-Mantar Row: CJP’s Saurav Das & Ashutosh Ranka Sent to Tihar Jail For 5 Days| Dr.Manish Kumar

Citizens for Justice and Peace leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were remanded to five days of judicial custody at Tihar Jail in New Delhi. The action was taken after authorities accused them of violating peace bonds and organising an unauthorised protest demonstration at Jantar Mantar. This legal action has drawn significant attention towards the existing regulations and restrictions governing public protests in the national capital, while also fueling an ongoing political debate surrounding the movement led by the organisation. Police officials stated that the arrests were necessary to maintain public order following the unsanctioned gathering. Supporters of the leaders have criticized the move, claiming it suppresses democratic rights to peaceful assembly and dissent.
