Indian police detain ‘cockroach’ movement founder Dipke ahead of protest
An Indian court has extended the detention of leaders from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), including founder Abhijeet Dipke. Police originally detained Dipke to prevent a planned protest at Central Park in Delhi. This legal extension occurs as authorities crack down on near-daily demonstrations against the government. While crowds continue to gather in New Delhi waving Indian flags, legal experts indicate that breaches of peace bonds can lead to arrests and detention under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
