Delhi Police detained CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke on Wednesday as he headed towards Connaught Place to participate in a Tiranga event, marking an escalation in tensions over planned demonstrations in the national capital.
Prior to the detention, Delhi Police had formally urged Dipke to call off an earlier scheduled event at Central Park, warning that the gathering would cause significant traffic disruption and create inconvenience for local traders in the area. The police also cited public safety concerns as grounds for the request.
The detention comes amid heightened security measures across central Delhi, where authorities have increased oversight of demonstrations and public assemblies. Police officials indicated that the action was taken to prevent potential law and order issues in the busy commercial district.
Details regarding the duration of detention and the specific charges, if any, against Dipke remain unclear. The CJP founder's party has not yet issued an official statement responding to the police action.
