HT Evening Brief October 17: Abhijeet Dipke gets conditional bail; Supreme Court backs children’s internet rights
Here's a quick recap of the day's top headlines from India, the world and the field of sports and entertainment.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), was released on conditional bail by a Delhi court after his arrest in connection with the party's 'Lehra Do Tiranga' rally at Central Park in Connaught Place. Dipke signed a peace bond with the Special Executive Magistrate’s court. The CJP's head of legal affairs, Ratna Singh, confirmed his release on X. Singh had previously complained about delays in court proceedings.
The rally was called for at 5pm on Friday, but the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) denied permission for the event. Police cited lack of permission for the rally and served Dipke with two notices, one from the New Delhi district authorities and another from South West Delhi authorities. The latter reminded Dipke and CJP co-conveners Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das of their legal undertaking to refrain from causing public disturbances for one year.
