CJP Members Vow to Continue Protest After Custody Order

Members of the CJP, including Advocate Abhisht Hela, addressed the media after being remanded to a five-day judicial custody following police action. The detained individuals maintained that the legal proceedings against them represent a misuse of official authority. Advocate Abhisht Hela stated that the decision to send them to judicial custody stemmed from a police presumption that they might commit an offense. Advocate Hela further explained that law enforcement personnel attempted to construct this presumption by allegedly presenting falsehoods before the court regarding the circumstances of their detention.

According to the statements provided to the media, the police falsely claimed that the detained individuals had committed a cognizable offense during their demonstration. The CJP members asserted that no such violation occurred and argued that the legal measures invoked against them were unwarranted. Despite being ordered into the five-day judicial custody, the group vowed to persist with their ongoing protest activities once their detention concludes. The members emphasized their resolve to continue raising their concerns despite the enforcement action taken by authorities.

The administrative and legal developments surrounding the CJP demonstration continue to draw public attention as the five-day judicial custody period proceeds. Law enforcement authorities maintained their position regarding the necessity of the custody order based on statutory provisions governing the maintenance of public order. Meanwhile, the detained members and their legal representatives prepared to contest the allegations presented in court while reaffirming their commitment to their demonstration objectives.
