In Delhi, Dipke visited advocate Kapil Sibal ’s house after being released by police.
They were released after an undertaking that they would not cause any “breach of peace” for a year. It was very heartless behaviour,” he said. Police and Abhijeet Dipke also traded charges regarding when the CJP founder was informed about his grandmother’s death and the police’s conduct during his detention. Protests and marches continued at several locations, including Connaught Place and RK Ashram Marg, with demonstrators demanding the resignation of chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

In a relief to CJP’s three leading faces, an executive magistrate court ordered the release of Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, who were placed under preventive arrest after arriving in the capital Saturday. He alleged that after being detained at IGI Airport , he was not allowed to use his phone, contact his lawyer or speak to his cousin after learning about his grandmother’s death. My family is already mourning, and this would have been a bigger blow to them.
