'We're Sorry': Video Of Cops Telling Abhijeet Dipke About Grandmother's Death
Dejected by the death of his grandmother, Dipke placed both his hands on his lowered head. After a few tense seconds, he says, "I see".
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has criticized Delhi Police for allegedly denying him access to his phone and lawyers during his detention. This contradicts the police's account that they informed him of his grandmother's death and offered assistance in traveling for her last rites. Dipke accused the police of deleting details in their statement about him asking for his phone to retrieve his cousin's number and requesting to speak to his lawyers.
The exchange occurred following a press conference by Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police Neha Yadav, who claimed officers had promptly informed Dipke about his grandmother's demise and offered various forms of assistance. Dipke stated he had requested to use his phone to take his cousin's number and had also asked for a call with his lawyers, but both requests were denied.
He questioned why the police did not allow him to use his phone and why officers approached him at 3.30 am to inform him about potential jail time, despite his recent loss.
