Delhi Police detained Abhijit Dipake, leader of the Confederation of Justice Party (CJP), on Tuesday as he attempted to leave his home to participate in a planned tricolour march in the capital. According to reports, Dipake was taken into preventive custody shortly after exiting his residence.
During the detention, Dipake repeatedly questioned the grounds for his custody, stating that he had done nothing wrong. The police action came following a prior notice issued to Dipake by the Delhi Police regarding his intended participation in the march.
The detention marks an escalation in authorities' response to planned demonstrations in Delhi. Police cited precautionary measures as justification for the preventive custody of the CJP leader.
