Two CJP leaders in judicial custody; opposition alleges 'unofficial emergency'

Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das of the Congress-backed CJP were detained on October 13 for breaching barricades at Jantar Mantar and demanding the CEC's resignation. The opposition claims the government is imposing an 'unofficial emergency,' but the arrests are judicial, not executive. This signals heightened political tension over electoral integrity ahead of elections.
