Leaders of India's Cockroach Janta Party sent to five days of judicial custody over protest-site trespassing charges
Three leaders of India's Cockroach Janta Party, Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, and Ajinkya Shinde, were detained after allegedly crossing police barricades to enter Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, a site recently stripped of its designated protest-venue status. They face charges including trespassing, violating prohibitory orders, and obstructing public officials. The arrests occurred amid wider protests demanding the resignation of India's chief election commissioner over alleged manipulation of voter rolls.
