Delhi Police detained Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke and two members inside an aircraft upon their arrival from Mumbai. They were traveling to Delhi for an unauthorized protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over electoral transparency concerns.
Abhijeet Dipke Detained at Delhi Airport Before CJP Protest
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke was taken into custody by Delhi Police on Saturday, October 10, shortly after his flight from Mumbai arrived in the national capital. The action came just hours before the party’s planned demonstration at Jantar Mantar against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Instead of waiting for the passengers to leave the aircraft, police personnel entered the plane and approached Dipke. He began an Instagram live during the encounter, recording officers entering the cabin and the ensuing exchange. CJP members Sourav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were also detained from the aircraft, according to reports.
Footage shared by Dipke showed the group challenging the police over the decision to detain them before they had disembarked. In the video, Dipke addressed the women officers and said: “You could have waited till we came out. Come arrest us, we are not afraid.”
