  "account": "Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, has questioned the Delhi Police's handling of phone calls to his family following his grandmother's death. He stated that he had requested a phone to contact his cousin, who lived with his grandmother, but the police denied his request to use it. The police later asked Dipke to call his father at 3:30 AM, a claim contradicted by his own statement that he would not speak to his father. Dipke was also offered a flight and transportation to leave Delhi, but he declined. Delhi Police spokesperson Neha Yadav confirmed that officers offered assistance, including calls to his parents, but he refused. Dipke's latest claim adds to the controversy surrounding the police's actions after his grandmother's passing.",
  "summary": "Abhijeet Dipke and Delhi Police have offered conflicting accounts of whether officers let him call family after his grandmother died. Dipke said he was denied phone and lawyer access while police said he declined calls and travel help.",
