A Special Executive Magistrate court in Delhi extended the judicial custody of CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka by two days until October 21 after ruling that they had deliberately breached peace bonds furnished on October 11 and showed no respect for the law.
The Special Executive Magistrate rejected the proposed sureties as unfit because one surety could not explain a photograph mismatch with his Aadhaar card, another failed to provide basic details about Saurav Das, and neither appeared capable of ensuring the respondents' presence in court.
Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were initially remanded to five days of judicial custody on October 14 following their arrest by Delhi Police.
