Delhi court extends custody of CJP leaders Das, Ranka by two days

The judicial custody of Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, prominent leaders of the Carnival Jugglers Party (CJP), has been extended by two days following a plea by Delhi Police. The extension was granted by a Delhi court on Monday, keeping the two leaders in police custody while investigations continue.

Delhi Police officials argued before the court that extending the custody was necessary to prevent potential disturbances to public peace and tranquility. The police claimed that premature release of the two leaders could lead to complications during the ongoing investigation and possible disruptions in the capital.

The exact nature of the case against Das and Ranka has not been disclosed publicly. Both leaders remain in judicial custody as authorities proceed with their investigation. The court's decision to grant the two-day extension indicates that the magistrate found the police arguments for continued detention reasonable at this stage.

The case has drawn attention given the prominence of Das and Ranka within CJP leadership. With the custody extension, authorities will have additional time to complete their investigative procedures before the next hearing in the matter.
