Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were sent to five days of judicial custody on October 14 after entering Jantar Mantar by climbing over its locked gates. The venue had been denotified as a designated protest site, though the leaders maintained they went there to unfurl the national flag and raise slogans.
Abhijeet Dipke accused the state of deliberately delaying the release of Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das by using procedural hurdles and dirty tricks to keep them behind bars without legal grounds. Activist Ratna Singh also reported significant delays by the Assistant Commissioner of Police and claimed that four sureties were rejected on vague grounds.
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) was formed after founder Abhijeet Dipke returned to India from the US in June to lead Gen Z agitations against the NEET-UG paper leak. Dipke stated that the CJP would function as a pressure group focusing on issues like dwindling trust in institutions, unemployment, and ethanol-blended fuel.
