Anti-CEC protest LIVE | CJP leader Abhijeet Dipke released by Delhi court after signing peace bond

The Delhi Police has granted permission to the Congress to hold a rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1 and issued a no-objection certificate (NOC) for the event, a senior police officer said on October 17, 2026.

On October 17, 2026, Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), was released by a Delhi court after signing a peace bond. He had been placed under preventive arrest by the Delhi Police. Women activists continued their protests against the Chief Election Commissioner and the police actions for the eighth consecutive day.

The Supreme Court agreed to hear academician Apporvanad Jha's argument that equating peaceful protest with a breach of peace was unjustified and a tactic by the Central government and Delhi Police to justify preventive detentions. In a separate incident, members of the Indian diaspora in London staged a counter-protest in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, opposing demonstrations by Congress-backed groups outside the Indian High Commission.

The Delhi Police granted a rally permit to the Congress at Ramlila Maidan on November 1, following a request for a no-objection certificate.
