Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Deepke was released on Saturday. Ratna Singh, head of CJP's legal cell, gave this information.
According to BBC correspondent Jugal Purohit, CJP said that after the release, Abhijeet Deepke left from there.
NCP national spokesperson Anish Gawande posted on Twitter, "Abhijeet has been released after 24 hours of arbitrary detention. I hope that Sourav and Ashutosh will also be released soon from their illegal detention in Tihar jail."
Actually Abhijeet Deepke was staying at Anish's house in Delhi.
After the release, Abhijeet Deepke's mother Anita Deepke expressed happiness and said, "Now we are feeling much better and have got relief, because we were under a lot of stress since yesterday. Not even 10 days have passed since my mother-in-law passed away and after that we got this news, due to which we were very upset."
Deepke had called for 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march on Friday evening but he was taken into preventive detention even before the march.
Two other prominent faces of CJP, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, are already in judicial custody. He has been sent to judicial custody for five days in the case of entering Jantar Mantar without permission.
On Saturday afternoon, Abhijeet Deepke was brought to Mandir Marg police station near Connaught Place. There he was presented before the Special Executive Magistrate.
According to Bar and Bench, the SEM Court granted bail with certain conditions.
According to live law, Deepke will have to accept the terms of the bond. One of these conditions is that they will have to maintain peace for one year.
Neha Bora, president of leftist student organization AISA, was also taken into custody on Saturday evening itself but she was released early Saturday.
A tense situation arose outside the Mandir Marg police station on Saturday when an argument broke out between the lawyers and the security forces.
Meanwhile, raising questions on the delay in the hearing, Ratna Singh wrote on Instagram, "The hearing was to be held at 12 noon. But till 3.38 pm there is no sign of it. If it is not intentional then what is."
BBC correspondent Jugal Purohit, who was present at the spot, had said that an atmosphere of tension was created outside the police station due to lawyers not being allowed to meet the detained people or represent them.
He told that there is a special executive magistrate's court in Mandir Marg police station and there was a commotion for some time at the gate.
Despite prominent young faces of the movement coming under police action, hundreds of people gathered in and around Connaught Place on Friday. Many of these people had the tricolor in their hands. During this period many protesters were detained.
India Today quoted police sources as saying that around 150 people were detained during the demonstration.
Abhijit Deepke had called his movement against the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar as CJP 2.0, but the strict action of the police has started raising questions as to what will happen next to this movement.
Senior journalist Rashid Kidwai believes that the government should look at such movements very carefully. He says, "Whenever strict action is taken against any political movement, it gains more momentum."
"Cockroach Janata Party has emerged in a different way. It raised issues like paper leak and people from all sections, especially youth, participated in its protests."
Rashid Kidwai says, "Since 2014, whatever political opposition came against the Modi government, the government tried to reduce its impact by linking it to Naxalites, foreign powers or anti-national activities."
"But since July till now, the government has not been able to fit this movement into any specific framework. For the first time, the government has failed to control this protest. However, here the matter is about the youth, so the government does not want to give any chance."
Senior journalist Luv Kumar Mishra says, "When such protests happen or the government acts so harshly, it becomes difficult for them. Now perhaps the government will not be able to suppress it easily."
"Even though this is a political issue, it is a demonstration of students and youth."
Senior political analyst Manisha Priyam, who participated in BBC Hindi program 'Dinbhar', said, "They are youth and they are hoisting the flag. What should be the problem in this? The fight of these youth was not political at all. They had raised issues like NEET and paper leak."
She says, "These children are not breaking any law. How the police is beating them is in front of everyone. The police are beating the children and if they say even the slightest thing, it is being termed as contempt."
Abhijeet Deepke was given a notice by Delhi Police on Friday morning asking him not to participate in the march. According to the notice, Abhijeet had appealed to the people to gather at Connaught Place, but legal permission was not taken for this. Later he was taken into custody.
Earlier on October 13, 14 CJP workers had reached Jantar Mantar. Police allege that the protesters assaulted the policemen trying to stop them and obstructed their work. In this case, Saurav and Ashutosh were sent to Tihar Jail.
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh accused the opposition of using the youth to spread anarchy and attempt 'regime change' like in Bangladesh. BJP President Nitin Nabin also accused the opposition of spreading anarchy.
At the same time, Abhijeet Deepke said that demanding answers from those in power is not anarchy but a basic expression of democracy.
