‘No More Jantar Mantar Protest Calls’: Vow By CJP’s Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka In Court

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, released on Wednesday after seven days in judicial custody, vowed before a Special Executive Magistrate (SEM) court in New Delhi that they will not call for any demonstration at Jantar Mantar as it has been denotified as a protest site.

As recorded in the court’s order, Das and Ranka stated in identical words, “I undertake and promise not to commit any breach of peace. Further it is also expressed that I have full faith in the judiciary and all its instruments, including the learned SEM Court.”

“That we reiterate our undertaking and commitment towards peace, law and order, public tranquillity and further we specifically state that we will not make any calls for protest at Jantar Mantar till such a time that it is de-notified in accordance with law,” the undertaking read. “That we further reiterate that any protest undertaken would be done within the four corners of the Constitution,” it added.

The magistrate ordered their release after directing Das and Ranka to furnish personal bonds and surety bonds of Rs 50,000 each and said the inquiry against them would continue. The next hearing is on Friday.
