Daijiworld Media Network - New Delhi New Delhi, Oct 20: Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka are set to approach the Delhi High Court seeking their release and challenging the Special Executive Magistrate (SEM) court's order extending their judicial custody in connection with the Jantar M.....

SEM Ritu Raj, sitting at Mandir Marg police station, remanded the two leaders to judicial custody until October 21 after their earlier five-day custody ended on Monday.

The Crime Branch will now investigate two cases against the CJP leaders. The other case linked to Das and Ranka allegedly entering the Jantar Mantar area was transferred to the Crime Branch on Monday.
