Cockroach Janta Party Founder Abhijeet Dipke Arrives In Delhi, Gets Approval For Jantar Mantar Protest
Delhi: Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke arrived in New Delhi on Saturday morning and secured permission from the Delhi Police to hold a protest at Jantar Mantar, marking a significant development in the youth-led movement that has gained attention across social media platforms.
Dipke landed at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3 around 7:30 am on a British Airways flight.
Soon after his arrival, a team of senior police officials met him at the airport. Following discussions, the Delhi Police granted permission for the protest at Jantar Mantar.
The Cockroach Janta Party later announced on social media that supporters could now gather directly at Jantar Mantar instead of assembling at the Parliament Street Police Station as originally planned.
Shortly after his arrival, controversy emerged when some supporters claimed Dipke had been taken to an undisclosed location by officials after immigration clearance.
According to group members, he was surrounded by several uniformed and plainclothes personnel, raising concerns among supporters. However, Dipke was later seen leaving the airport, putting speculation about his detention to rest.
In a post on X, Dipke urged supporters to maintain peace during the demonstration.
