Delhi police arrested Abhijeet Dipke, who claims he was denied access to his lawyer and family, alleging mental harassment. His mother mourns the loss of her grandmother, whom Dipke could not see before her death.
On 12 October 2023, Delhi Police arrested Abhijeet Dipke, a prominent founder of the CJP movement, in connection with an alleged offence. Dipke has publicly alleged that during his detention he was subjected to mental harassment and that the police denied him access to his lawyer and to his family members.
He claims that the authorities prevented him from meeting his mother and grandmother, a restriction that has caused his mother deep distress. The grandmother passed away shortly after the arrest, and Dipke’s mother expressed that she was unable to see her daughter‑in‑law before her death.
In a statement released after the arrest, Dipke vowed to continue his agitation against the government, questioning the motives behind his detention and demanding a fair legal process. The incident has drawn attention from supporters of the CJP movement, who see it as a political move to silence dissent.
Delhi Police have not yet released a detailed explanation of the alleged harassment, but the case has sparked debate over the treatment of political activists in custody.
