CJP Protest: Air India Passengers Recount Delay After Dipke, Ranka Detained At Delhi Airport |VIDEO

Passengers on an Air India flight from Mumbai to Delhi recounted their ordeal after Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leaders Abhijeet Dipke and Ashutosh Ranka were detained upon landing at Indira Gandhi International Airport. According to a passenger, security personnel from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and Delhi Police were present at the scene.

The passenger explained that Dipke and Ranka were detained "right from the flight" and that passengers were not allowed to disembark until the CJP leaders had been taken away. Another passenger expressed frustration over the delay, stating that they had to wait inside the aircraft while police personnel detained the CJP leaders.

The disruption caused inconvenience to ordinary travelers, the passenger noted, and questioned whether the removal of names from electoral rolls was a justifiable reason for such protests. CJP leaders were reportedly at Jantar Mantar to protest Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation amid opposition to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Security was reportedly heightened around Jantar Mantar as a result of the planned demonstration.
