A Delhi executive magistrate court on Sunday ordered the release of Cockroach Janta Party leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, a day after police detained them aboard an aircraft that had landed from Mumbai.
The three had travelled to Delhi for a demonstration at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the rollback of the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Delhi Police had denied permission for the protest, citing prohibitory orders in New Delhi, and placed the leaders under preventive arrest after holding them for about 24 hours.
The Indian Express reported that the leaders were produced before an executive magistrate and released from Delhi Cantonment Police Station. CJP legal affairs head Ratna Singh told Scroll that the court required them to maintain peace for one year.
Authorities mounted a large security operation on Saturday, closing metro stations and markets, restricting travel, suspending mobile internet in central Delhi and detaining protesters attempting to reach the demonstration. Published estimates of the number detained varied widely: The Hindu reported more than 500 across Delhi, while The Indian Express cited police as saying about 7,000 people were detained. Reuters reported that about 200 were held in central New Delhi, according to a police source.
YouTuber and protest supporter Dhruv Rathee, who was detained in Gurugram on Saturday, was also released early Sunday. The CJP and Left groups had called for further demonstrations on Sunday.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story needed several details narrowed or corrected to match the sourcing. - "The three had travelled to Delhi for a demonstration at Jantar Mantar demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the reversal of a revision of electoral rolls.": The sources say protesters demanded the rollback of the Special Intensive Revision or protested over alleged electoral roll irregularities, not the reversal of a revision of electoral rolls. - "Police mounted a large security operation on Saturday, closing metro stations and markets, restricting travel, suspending mobile internet in central Delhi and detaining protesters attempting to reach the demonstration.": The sources say authorities closed 45 metro stations and shut markets, suspended mobile internet and restricted travel, but do not say police closed the markets or suspended mobile internet. - "The CJP and allied Left groups had called for further demonstrations on Sunday.": The sources say CJP and Left groups called for fresh protests on Sunday, but do not describe the Left groups as allied with CJP.
