Dipke left Delhi to attend his grandmother’s funeral, while police said they were not informed of her death beforehand.
Dipke, a resident of Delhi, travelled out of the capital to take part in his grandmother’s funeral rites. The departure was reported shortly after the family announced the death.
Police officials, when approached for comment, stated that they had not received any prior notification about the grandmother’s passing and were unaware of the funeral arrangements until the news became public.
The family’s spokesperson confirmed Dipke’s travel but declined to provide further details about the location of the funeral or the date of the ceremony.
Authorities emphasized that standard protocol requires a formal notice for any death-related assistance, and they are reviewing the communication channels to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future.
