‘Continue Protest or Attend Last Rites’: Delhi Police Informs Dipke of Grandmother’s Death

Police informed the CJP founder of his grandmother’s death and offered him a choice between detention and returning home for the funeral, officials said.

  • On Saturday, Delhi Police informed detained Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke of his grandmother's death and offered to facilitate his travel from New Delhi to Hingoli, Maharashtra, on humanitarian grounds.
  • Savitribai Shankarrao Dipke, 85, died Saturday morning in Hingoli following a prolonged illness, while Dipke arrived at Indira Gandhi International Airport from Mumbai with party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka to protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
  • Police sources stated Dipke faces a choice: remain in custody to continue the planned protest at Jantar Mantar or fly home for his grandmother's last rites, scheduled for 10 am on Sunday, while his parents, Anita and Bhagwan Dipke, travel to Hingoli.
  • Anita Dipke criticized the government, labeling the detention of her son and CJP leaders "wrong," and stated that Ambedkarite people would teach those responsible for the detention a lesson.
