Are students in Delhi dacoits?: Dipke's parents

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Abhijeet Dipke's parents have accused the government of lacking respect for democracy following the detention of their son and nearly 500 protesters in Delhi. The parents questioned why a large police force was deployed, speculating whether the detained individuals were "Chambal dacoits." Abhijeet's father, Bhagwan Dipke, expressed his strong support for his son, comparing him to Chandra Shekhar Azad and Bhagat Singh.

Abhijeet's mother, Anita Dipke, also criticized the government's actions, questioning the need for detaining individuals without justification. Police detained around 500 protesters attempting to reach Jantar Mantar for a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, using drones to monitor the situation.
