Indian police have detained Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), in New Delhi ahead of a planned protest. The demonstration was organized to demand the release of two CJP colleagues who were previously jailed after breaching security barricades during earlier mass detentions last week.

Dipke had called on party supporters to gather at Central Park carrying national flags prior to his arrest. The movement, which describes itself as youth-led, has faced ongoing police intervention amid heightened security actions against its leadership in the capital.
