VIDEO | Delhi: CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka's judicial custody extended by two days.
CJP legal head Ratna Singh says, "I think SEM (Special Executive Magistrate) courts should be abolished because the system is compromised. They have rejected the sureties. Advocates have pointed out that the verification process for a surety cannot be a valid ground for remanding someone to judicial custody. There is no apprehension, no threat, and there was no call to action from our side, yet they were still sent to two days of judicial custody. The authorities show no regard for personal liberty or an individual's past record; they simply seek an excuse, and we have just witnessed the kind of excuse they have offered today. I feel that while this entire system is designed to crush us, it will not succeed. The youth of this country is watching. They see how those in power are misusing the law to suppress voices, stifle these young people and prevent them from coming together to raise their concerns. I believe the authorities fail to realise that all of this is only making these individuals stronger and more powerful. They will eventually push back, and the government will be forced to provide an answer."

Advocate Pushp Sharma, representing Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, says, "The facts are straight away. We were pushing on law. They said that they (Ranka and Das) made a call and made a statement; we told them to show us the specific call. To this, they had no reply. They only said that everything is in the public domain. We told them to show us the provision under which this is being done. They again had no reply. They kept saying that there are threats; we told them to show us the same - again, no reply. Then we were told that SEM would take half an hour to pronounce the order but they took 3 hours and took 2 of those hours to talk to someone over phone. During this time, they wrote the order, clicked its photo and sent it somewhere. Then the sureties were called in and asked strange questions...This is absurd. SEM is a man of the Police. Sureties were being threatened. Lastly, we were told that photos of the sureties were not matching. This order will be challenged and taken to higher judiciary..."
Gyanesh Kumar has life long immunity against his doings as CEC.
Dushyant Kumar Gautam now has immunity against law for next 5 years.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is shielding Lawrence Bishnoi from outside interrogation by invoking Section 303 of the BNSS, completely blocking other state police forces from taking him into physical custody.
All this happening right under the nose of Supremacy Court of India.
Saurav and Ashutosh are scheduled to be produced before the new SEM at 2 PM today. Their judicial custody ends today.
I sincerely hope there will be no further delays - no IO switching off phone for hours, no threatening messages, no hearing at 6PM, no tyre puncture to be not able to produce them.
Basically no “Upar se orders”
Ye badi disturbing news hai . Itna protest hone ke baad bhi BJP ko koi farak nahi pada . BJP ek shameless party hai . My heart goes out for Ankita Bhandari's parents
Instead of cracking down on students and activists, the police should focus on actual criminals.
This is what happens when the Govt and police have their priorities completely misplaced.

The BJP now asks that the tragedy not be politicised. Its memory is short, writes @chhuti_is.

“Live band kariye… Aap kaun hain bhai?… Live band kariye… Aap please bahar jaiye… Nahi, motivated media ko nahi bulaya hai!”
Just because a journalist asked why, in all five encounters since March 2026, the accused had been shot in the left leg? The SSP of Udham Singh Nagar asked the reporter to leave.
Well, ideally if going by the Police Manual for Media Briefing uploaded on the Supreme Court’s website 03/02/2026, Section 15, on press protocols, states that in if queries drift into prohibited areas - you must respond with “No Comments.”
Nothin Like “Bahar Jayeeye” in Police Manual For Media Briefing
The Police Manual also talks about three core fundamentals: public safety, transparency and accountability, and trust-building. No personal offence to the SSP, but I could not find any of these in the video below.
It's funny how detained CJP leader aren't even allowed to use their phone or meet their lawyers.
On the other hand, this guy is running whole nexus sitting in jail.
Just one question- HOW??
@Cockroachisback@whattalawyer
Keeping Saurav and Ashutosh in Judicial Custody for LONGER than the mandated 5 days, while actively delaying the hearing, is exactly how we know the systems participating in the capture of democracy.
“Lawrence Bishnoi Sahab”
The respect Delhi Police has for gangsters…
Wish they showed even 10% of this courtesy to students and activists who are doing nothing but protest.
