Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were sent to Tihar Jail for five days for violating peace bonds and trespassing into Jantar Mantar, recently denotified as a protest site. 

Their associate Ajinkya Shinde was released after signing a peace bond. The arrests followed protests against alleged electoral roll irregularities and the removal of Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site, which the CJP argues diminishes public dissent visibility in Delhi's political center.
