After spending seven days in jail, Cockroach Janta Party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka have been released following an order by a Special Executive Magistrate court in Delhi.
The two leaders were detained after the October 13 protest at Jantar Mantar and had been held in judicial custody while police sought preventive action against them. The court eventually ordered their release after they submitted undertakings promising not to organise protests at Jantar Mantar while the site remains denotified and not to disturb public peace.
