Cockroach Janta Party chief Abhijit Dipke granted bail subject to conditions, says Delhi Police

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has been granted bail in Delhi, subject to certain conditions, Delhi Police said on Saturday. His bail comes after the party's head of legal affairs, Ratna Singh, challenged the legality of his arrest and urged the court to order his immediate release, alleging violations of fundamental rights and due process. This was the second time in a week that Dipke had been detained by the Delhi Police. He was earlier taken into custody shortly after arriving in Delhi from Mumbai to participate in a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged manipulation of electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
