Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janata Party, faces criticism from his parents regarding his continued detention despite his grandmother's passing. Dipke was detained by Delhi Police on October 10 after arriving at the airport to join a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Jantar Mantar. His grandmother, Savitribai Shankar Dipke, had passed away on the same day after a long illness.
His mother, Anita Dipke, questioned why her son was not allowed to attend his grandmother's last rites, asking what crime he had committed to be denied that right. She noted that if released, her son could have attended the funeral. His father, Bhagwan Dipke, alleged that Delhi Police had lied about contacting them about his grandmother's death, claiming his son would have arrived sooner had he been notified.
The Delhi Police stated that Dipke was informed of his grandmother's death and the funeral time, but he refused assistance for travel back home, according to their statement. Dipke, along with CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, were released after 24 hours of detention.
