Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of India's "Cockroach" movement and the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), was released from detention a day after he was taken into custody. His release followed an agreement to certain conditions, as confirmed by the CJP's head of legal affairs.

Dipke and his movement rose to public prominence earlier this year following a weeks-long sit-in protest. The sustained demonstration ultimately contributed to the resignation of India's education minister.
