Delhi Police debunked lies spread by CJP leaders in a press conference after being released from detention earlier in the day. During the press conference, the CJP leader Ashutosh Ranka alleged that the Delhi Police personnel informed CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke, who was under preventive detention, about the demise of his grandmother in an “inhuman” manner. He added that police personnel displayed insensitivity in recording the moments when Dipke was given the information.
Following Ranka’s allegation, Delhi Police DCP Neha Yadav organised a presser and released the video showing the moments when Dipke was informed about his grandmother’s demise. The video shows a female police personnel politely informing Dipke about the passing away of his grandmother.
The police personnel then allowed some time for Dipke to absorb the information before offering to make arrangements in case he wanted to travel back to his home to see his grandmother or to make any phone calls to his family. Dipke is seen declining the offer. “As soon as the Delhi Police received information about the passing away of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) Founder Abhijeet Dipke’s grandmother, officers approached him to convey this sad news and offered all possible assistance. They sensitively asked if he needed help with flights, phone calls, or anything else. They repeatedly asked if he wished to speak to his parents, but he declined,” the DCP said.

When permission was granted previously, they did not abide by the law; the crowd they mobilized engaged in heavy stone-pelting, arson, and violence, causing significant damage to public property. Permission for the proposed sit-in protest at Janpath was denied due to the failure to follow prescribed procedures, a history of non-compliance with laws and guidelines, and the prevailing security and law-and-order situation. To ensure Delhi’s security and protect the lives and property of its citizens, Section 133 BNSS was imposed in several areas of the city, prohibiting any form of gathering or protest. Abhijeet Dipke and two of their associates were detained on October 10 in connection with a call for a protest at Janpath as permission for the demonstration had not been granted"

DCP Yadav then clarified the reason for not granting permission to the CJP to organise a protest in Delhi. The cop said that the permission was denied considering the past unlawful conduct and violation of the undertaking by CJP leaders during the anti-paper leak protests.
“Regarding CJP, their past conduct showed a failure to adhere to previously given undertakings and local directives. When permission was granted previously, they did not abide by the law; the crowd they mobilised engaged in heavy stone-pelting, arson, and violence, causing significant damage to public property,” DCP Yadav said.
“Permission for the proposed sit-in protest at Janpath was denied due to the failure to follow prescribed procedures, a history of non-compliance with laws and guidelines, and the prevailing security and law-and-order situation,” she added.
CJP leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were detained by the Delhi Police at Delhi airport yesterday (October 10, 2026) in anticipation of CJP’s unauthorised protest. They were taken into preventive detention and were released earlier today after furnishing a one-year bond, undertaking not to engage in any activities in breach of peace.
