A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of Citizens Justice Party (CJP) leaders by two days following their arrest during a protest against the Chief Election Commissioner. The detained activists had gathered at the Election Commission premises, where they hoisted the national flag and staged demonstrations voicing their grievances against Gyanesh Kumar, the Chief Election Commissioner. Police placed the protesters under preventive arrest as the demonstration unfolded. The extension of custody suggests ongoing investigations into the incident. CJP workers and supporters have been vocal about their concerns regarding electoral conduct and governance, using public demonstrations as a means to register their protest. The court's decision to extend detention indicates the authorities are pursuing inquiries related to the protest's circumstances and any potential violations. The case remains under investigation as legal proceedings continue in Delhi's judicial system.
