Abhijeet Dipke’s grandmother Savitribai Shankarrao Dipke passes away

Abhijeet Dipke's maternal grandmother, Savitribai Shankarrao Dipke, has died at the age of 85 in Maharashtra's Hingoli district on Saturday, October 10, 2026. The 85-year-old passed away at 11:30 a.m. at her paternal home in Santuk Pimpri village after a month-long illness. She had been hospitalized in Hingoli earlier. Delhi Police have informed Abhijeet Dipke about his grandmother's demise.

The next step is up to him - whether he continues the protest under detention or returns home to attend her funeral. The funeral rites are scheduled for 10 a.m. on Sunday, October 11, 2026.

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), was detained in Delhi and could not be reached for comment. However, his parents are on their way to Santuk Pimpri. The CJP's cousin informed that Abhijeet Dipke had met his grandmother on August 15 during the launch of the 'School Thik Karo' campaign in Hingoli district.

Unfortunately, the CJP founder was unable to see her in the last 20-25 days. The CJP party claimed that Dipke, along with Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, were detained by Delhi Police upon their arrival from Mumbai for their protest at Jantar Mantar against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
