Mumbai: Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has suffered a personal loss amid the political developments surrounding his detention in Delhi, with his grandmother, Savitribai Shankar Dipke, passing away after a prolonged illness in their native village in Maharashtra’s Hingoli district on Saturday.
Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke was arrested on a plane as he headed to a large protest in Delhi on Saturday (October 10). A video showed police entering the plane Dipke was traveling on, causing a disturbance. Around 11 am, Dipke was landing at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. When asked to cooperate, Dipke said, "I have come here to be arrested; arrest me."
