NEW DELHI, Oct 17 — India’s Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke was released from detention today, a day after his arrest during a police crackdown on protests against the election authority.
Dipke, 31, was detained yesterday in New Delhi as he headed to join a rally that the CJP protest movement had called in the capital’s central Connaught Place district.
He walked out of a police station this afternoon, waving to the media and giving a thumbs up as he was driven away, an AFP photographer saw.
“Abhijeet Dipke released,” CJP legal affairs chief Ratna Singh said on social media.
