Their detention was linked to a demonstration during which they allegedly attempted to unfurl the national flag despite restrictions at the protest site.

The case drew attention amid the CJP’s campaign seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over concerns related to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

The party has maintained that its campaign centres on electoral issues and the right to peaceful protest.

Das and Ranka are expected to be released following the latest order. Further details regarding the release formalities were not immediately available.

Further developments in the case are awaited.
