CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke's grandmother dies hours after his detention in Delhi
Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke's 85-year-old paternal grandmother, Savitribai Dipke, died at their native village in Maharashtra's Hingoli district on Saturday, hours after he was detained by Delhi Police ahead of the party's planned protest.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke's grandmother, Savitribai Dipke, passed away at the age of 85 in her native village of Santuk Pimpri in Maharashtra's Hingoli district. This occurred hours after Dipke was detained by Delhi Police upon his arrival in the national capital, according to ETV Bharat. Sources suggest that Savitribai had been unwell for several days before her death.
Dipke was traveling with fellow CJP activists Saurav Das and Ashutosh to participate in a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, who they accused of voter-list manipulation during a Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and changes involving Form 6. It is unclear whether Dipke was informed of his grandmother's death while in police custody.
Police presence has been heightened around Dipke's residence in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar due to the planned protest.
