CJP protest: Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das detained at Delhi’s IGI airport | Who else was taken into custody?
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, other organisers, politicians and activists were detained ahead of a protest seeking CEC Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation. Reports said over 1,500 people were detained in Delhi amid heavy security, mobile internet suspensions and restrictions at several Metro stations.
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."
Police responded that it was not an arrest and requested cooperation. The CJP organized protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, with several political parties joining. Police detained over 150 protesters before the protest. CJP founders Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were also reported to have been arrested. Delhi Police cited potential security concerns and inconvenience for detaining the protesters.
