CJP Protest Today LIVE: Security tightened, Connaught Place’s Central Park shut; Dipke ‘under constant surveillance’
CJP Protest Today LIVE: Ahead of the Tiranga march, CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke alleged he was being tailed. “The place I am staying at has been surrounded by undercover cops from all sides…The white Scorpio has also been following me everywhere,” he said.
Delhi Police have tightened security around Parliament Street Police Station in response to the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke's planned 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march at Connaught Place's Central Park. The march is set to begin around 5 PM on Friday. The protest is being organized amid a dispute with Delhi Police over demonstrations against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
The CJP had previously de-notified Jantar Mantar as a protest site, leading to trespassing by leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, who were detained and sent to five-day judicial custody. The Delhi Police urged people to stay away from the proposed march at Central Park, but allowed a select group to wave the national flag and sing the national anthem in a designated area.
Central Park will be closed to the public on October 16 and 17 due to administrative reasons. A prohibitory order under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) is already in force in the vicinity.
