The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) stated on Friday that Delhi Police had transported Abhijeet Dipke to a location it had not disclosed, with the party adding that those close to him had been unable to reach him and that access to legal counsel had not been made available to him.

The CJP put forward claims that Delhi Police transported Dipke to an undisclosed location, leaving those close to him without any means of reaching him or arranging legal representation on his behalf. The organisation also directed a public post at the verified Delhi Police account on the platform, asking where Dipke was being held and whether he had been given access to a lawyer. Requests for information about his location came from the group, which maintained he was holding the national flag at the time he was detained.

The organisation's post on X raised questions about Dipke's location after police took him away, with members stating he had been holding the national flag at the time. The post noted that officers had transported him to a location that was not publicly disclosed, that contact with him had been lost, and that legal counsel had not been made available to him.

The Chief Justice of India directed Delhi Police to reveal Dipke's location and explain what steps, if any, had been taken in connection with him.

The group also contended that Dipke had been stepping out of his residence with the national flag in hand at the time of the incident, and raised the question of why such conduct would prompt a police response. The post conveyed that those who authored it viewed themselves as full citizens of India, entitled to every protection and right the Constitution provides.

As of the time of publication, Delhi Police had not put forward any comment addressing the claims made in the post.

Dipke was taken into custody by Delhi Police ahead of the party's scheduled "Lehra Do Tiranga" flag-waving event at Central Park in Connaught Place. Authorities took him into preventive custody at his New Delhi home, acting under prohibitory provisions set out in Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). According to CJP representatives, he was transferred to a location that was not disclosed to the public, and lawyers were not made available to him straight away.

A march titled "Lehra Do Tiranga" was organised by the CJP to demonstrate against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, with organisers pointing to what they described as discrepancies in electoral rolls and voter registration data.

Alongside Dipke, police took into custody more than 150 protesters as well as a number of student and political activists — among them Neha Bora, who heads AISA and was apprehended in the vicinity of Mandi House. Access to Central Park was restricted for two days, with barriers put in place and security personnel stationed throughout the area.
