CJP Dipke Warns of Arrest by Delhi Police and IB Ahead of Lehra Do Tiranga March

Chief Justice of Punjab, Dipke, publicly warned that the Delhi Police and the Intelligence Bureau are preparing to detain him ahead of the upcoming ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ march. The statement was made in response to the scheduled patriotic rally, which is set to take place in the national capital later this week.
Dipke’s remarks underscore growing tension between the judiciary and law‑enforcement agencies as the march approaches. While the exact reasons for a potential arrest were not detailed, the judge indicated that the authorities have signalled an intent to act before the demonstration.
As of now, neither the Delhi Police nor the Intelligence Bureau has issued an official comment on the allegation. The organizers of the ‘Lehra Do Tiranga’ march have reiterated their commitment to a peaceful event, urging participants to remain calm.
The development has drawn attention from legal observers, who note that any move to arrest a sitting chief justice would be unprecedented and could raise constitutional questions.
The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as the march date draws nearer.
