COURT EXTENDS CJP LEADERS’ CUSTODY BY TWO DAYS AS DELHI POLICE CONTINUE INVESTIGATION

October 19, 2026

Leaders associated with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) will remain in custody for another two days after Delhi Police secured an extension, prolonging the legal proceedings surrounding their detention.

The custody extension allows investigators additional time to question the detained leaders and pursue inquiries connected with the case. The development comes amid heightened scrutiny of police action against activists and student representatives involved in protests in the national capital.

The continued detention has brought renewed attention to the legal procedures governing police custody, including the requirement for judicial authorisation and the protection of the rights of detained individuals. Any further action in the case will depend on the investigation and subsequent judicial proceedings.

The extension also adds to the wider debate over the treatment of civil society activists and the boundaries between law enforcement and democratic dissent. The case is expected to remain under close observation as the investigation progresses.
