Here is what the page “India’s Cockroach Party Leaders Jailed 5 Days for Defying Jantar Mantar Protest Ban” contains. Two leaders of India’s youth-led Cockroach Janata party (CJP) movement, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, have been sentenced to five days in Delhi’s Tihar prison for violating a ban on protests at Jantar Mantar, a historic protest site in central Delhi that authorities have closed. A Delhi court ordered the jail term after the pair jumped over police barricades, held up slogans, and waved the Indian flag at the site. The Cockroach movement, known for its anti-corruption and pro-transparency stance, has gained attention for its unconventional protests.
The case highlights the ongoing tension between civic dissent and public order in India’s capital, where authorities have increasingly restricted protest sites. With Jantar Mantar off-limits, activists face a shrinking space for public demonstration. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
