Delhi court orders release of CJP leaders Das, Ranka on sureties

A special executive magistrate in Delhi has directed the release of CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka following the acceptance of sureties by the Assisting Commissioner of Police (ACP). The order comes as the investigating officer approved the surety arrangements submitted in connection with their case.

Both Das and Ranka, who hold prominent positions within the Chargesheet Justice Party, had been in custody pending the finalisation of surety procedures. The magistrate's order enables their release from detention as the legal requirements for bail conditions have been satisfied.

The development marks a procedural milestone in the case, with the acceptance of sureties clearing a significant hurdle in the bail process. The timing of the release order comes after the ACP's review of the documentation and verification of the guarantors provided by the accused.

The case involving Das and Ranka continues to be handled by the special executive magistrate's court, which oversees the matter's progression through the judicial system. No further details regarding the charges or circumstances leading to their initial detention were immediately available.
