Abhijit Deepke, founder of the Campaign for Judicial Prominence (CJP), has been granted humanitarian consideration by Delhi Police following the death of his grandmother, Savitribai Shankarrao Deepke, 85, in Hingoli district of Maharashtra.
The elderly woman's passing prompted Delhi Police to inform Deepke and extend an offer of assistance on humanitarian grounds. The police indicated willingness to facilitate his travel to his native town to be with his family during this period.
The development marks a significant moment for Deepke, whose organization has been vocal on judicial and governance matters. The exact status of any custody arrangements and the timeline for his potential departure remain unclear.
This gesture by law enforcement underscores the consideration typically extended in cases involving death of close family members, balancing legal procedures with compassionate humanitarian considerations.
