New Delhi : The Cockroach Janata Party’s Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Aushtosh Ranka were detained from inside an aircraft shortly after landing in Delhi. A Delhi Police team, notably comprising mostly women cops, entered the Air India flight from Mumbai within minutes of touchdown and detained the trio as co-passengers looked on and shot videos.
The party strongly condemned the detention of Dipke, Das and Ranka. It alleged that the police had carried out a pre-planned interception to prevent its leaders from reaching the protest site and described the action as an attempt to cripple the leadership of the peaceful demonstration. Moments ahead of his detention, Abhijeet Dipke posted a video on Instagram claiming that police were detaining him and his associates as they deboarded the aircraft at Delhi Airport.
Abhijeet Dipke kept claiming he wasn’t afraid of getting arrested and had come to Delhi ready to face the police. But the moment Delhi Police got hold of him, he was drenched in sweat, visibly panicking and crying like he had completely lost it. 🤣😹 Well done, Delhi Police! ❤️ Proud of you!

Dipke is heard alleging, “So, you can see that Delhi Police is entering the plane to arrest us. They are all entering the plane. We just landed. All the Delhi Police officers are standing in the aisle. They are trying to arrest us from inside the plane. The entire Delhi Police is getting on the plane…This is the fear of Narendra Modi… Not even Indira Gandhi did this during the Emergency. All we wanted to do is a peaceful protest, and they are picking us up from the flight like we are criminals.”
The CJP also posted a video of its legal head, Ratna Singh, who claimed that she was being detained while attempting to leave her home in her car. In the video, Singh alleged that police officers had arrived at her residence in the morning and were told that she was not there. She claimed that when she asked the officers to show an official notification authorising the detention, they had nothing to produce. “They just said, ‘We need to detain you, we have orders from above.’ I don’t know which ‘above’ the orders came from for them,” she said.
