New Delhi: Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka have been summoned by the Delhi Police Crime Branch to its Rajouri Garden office on Thursday.
The development comes a day after a Special Executive Magistrate (SEM) court on Wednesday ordered the release of Das and Ranka after they gave written undertakings that they won't breach peace or call for protests at Jantar Mantar as long as the site remains denotified.
The two were directed to furnish personal bonds and surety bonds of Rs 50,000 each until the conclusion of the inquiry.
They furnished the bonds whereupon the SEM ordered their release from Tihar Jail.
“Further judicial custody does not appear to be necessary at this stage, particularly after written undertakings before this Court,” the SEM court observed while ordering their release.
The court directed the investigating officer to submit a verification report regarding the sureties at the next hearing. The matter has been listed for further proceedings on October 23 at 3 pm, with the two leaders and their sureties directed to remain present.
The order came after the police sought a three-day extension of their judicial custody, arguing that apprehensions of a breach of peace and disturbance of law and order persisted in view of their previous conduct and statements made in the media.
