NEW DELHI [NCRBuzz Wire] — ### Judicial Custody and Legal Grounds
**CJP activists Sourav Das and Ashutosh Ranka have been remanded to five days of judicial custody** following their detention during the 'Lahara Do Tiranga' march. The Delhi Police invoked **Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS)** to prohibit the assembly, citing the need to maintain public order in the Connaught Place area.
### Surveillance Allegations
Activist Abhijit Dipke has publicly alleged that he is under surveillance by plainclothes officers. Dipke, who called for the march, expressed concerns regarding his own potential arrest, stating that he has been monitored since the announcement of the protest. Police officials have not commented on specific surveillance claims but maintain that all actions taken were in accordance with regulatory protocols regarding public demonstrations.
The detention occurs amidst heightened security protocols in New Delhi. Section 163 of the BNSS (replacing Section 144 of the CrPC) is increasingly utilized by authorities to manage public order during political demonstrations, highlighting the tension between the right to protest and state-mandated regulatory compliance.
