Four Cockroach Janta Party volunteers from Telangana detained in Bhopal ahead of October 10 Delhi protest

Four volunteers from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Telangana were detained by railway police and security forces in Bhopal while en route to Delhi for a protest on October 10, the party claimed on October 8 night. Stanley, Rangasai, Rajesh, and Venky were on a train to Delhi when security personnel boarded their carriage in Bhopal and ordered them off.

The CJP accused the four of being placed under preventive detention, asserting the move violated their right to travel for the peaceful protest. The party demanded details from Bhopal railway and local police about the legal justification for the arrest, calling it a restriction on their rights. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke criticized the detention on X, questioning the government's actions, stating, "It couldn't be more evident that Modi is a psychotic dictator."

The CJP, along with civil rights groups and the volunteers' families, is demanding their immediate release and accountability from the authorities for allowing the detention.
