The development comes a day after an SEM court ordered the release of the two CJP leaders from Tihar jail.

CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka have been released from Tihar Jail after a magistrate ruled that further judicial custody was unnecessary.

The court will also hear AISA president Neha Bora’s challenge to a Delhi Police notice requiring her to execute a Rs 10,000 bond for keeping peace under the BNSS.

CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka offered an unconditional verbal apology to the SEM court over their October 19 media statements and assured that such conduct would not be repeated.

The Delhi High Court refused to hear on October 20 the plea filed by the two leaders seeking an urgent hearing against an SEM court's decision to extend their judicial custody by two days.

Organisers said the effigy promoted cleanliness, while AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj accused them of hurting religious sentiments.

Abhijeet Dipke calls the proposed cockroach effigy 'free publicity' as the CJP faces a legal battle over the detention of activists Sourav Das and Ashutosh Ranka.

Announcing the move, the outfit said that the liberty of the detained leaders "cannot be sacrificed at the altar of political vendetta."

The CJP co-convenors had sought an urgent night hearing against the extension of their judicial custody, alleging that their liberty is being curtailed due to political vendetta.

CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka will remain in Tihar Jail for two more days after a Delhi court extended their judicial custody amid the ongoing CEC resignation row.
