CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke’s Grandmother dies in Maharashtra, he remains detained at Delhi airport
Police detained three CJP leaders after their flight landed, and the party says the move was meant to block a protest over electoral-roll revisions.
- On Saturday, Delhi Police detained Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke at Indira Gandhi International Airport upon his arrival from Mumbai. Officers intercepted Dipke and two colleagues inside their aircraft ahead of a planned protest at Jantar Mantar.
- The Cockroach Janata Party organized the demonstration to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, under which over 13 crore names were deleted from draft lists.
- While Dipke remained in police custody, his grandmother, Savitribai Shankar Dipke, died Saturday at the family's native village in Maharashtra's Hingoli district. His parents, Anita and Bhagwan Dipke, have left for the village to attend the last rites.
- It remains unclear whether Delhi Police will release Dipke or permit him to travel to Maharashtra for the funeral. Officials have provided no immediate confirmation regarding his potential release or travel arrangements following the detention.
- Dipke recently noted the heavy toll his activism has taken on his family, citing his mother's fear for his safety. He previously stated, "Abhijit ran away," explaining his refusal to abandon protests despite significant personal suffering.
