Sources: CJP Leaders Could Possibly Be Detained Today: Dhruv Rathee Picked Up | News18

A News18 report says the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) warned days before its October 10 "Save Democracy" protest in Delhi that its top leaders could be arrested or detained. CJP co-convenor Saurav Das made allegations on October 5 that the government planned to arrest him, party founder Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka, Ratna Singh and other leaders. Ashutosh Ranka said sources had warned that leaders could face arrest under the National Security Act or equivalent provisions. These were claims by CJP leaders, not an official confirmation of such a plan. The report says YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was reportedly detained from his residence in Gurugram's Sector 56 ahead of the protest at Jantar Mantar. Rathee had said he intended to take part in the protest, which demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

CJP DETENTION WARNING: The Cockroach Janta Party had warned days before its October 10 protest that its top leaders could be arrested or detained ahead of the planned “Save Democracy” demonstration in Delhi. Now, YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has reportedly been detained from his residence in Gurugram’s Sector 56 ahead of the protest at Jantar Mantar. On October 5, CJP co-convenor Saurav Das alleged that the government was planning to arrest him, party founder Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka, Ratna Singh and other CJP leaders. Ashutosh Ranka separately said that sources had warned him and other leaders could face arrest under the National Security Act or equivalent provisions. These were allegations and warnings made by CJP leaders, not an official confirmation of a government plan to arrest the entire leadership. The reported detention of Dhruv Rathee on October 10 has brought those earlier warnings back into focus. Rathee had announced his intention to participate in the protest, which was called to demand Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. #CJP #CockroachJantaParty #DhruvRathee #AbhijeetDipke #SauravDas #AshutoshRanka #SaveDemocracy #DelhiProtest #GyaneshKumar n18oc_breakingnews CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
