“If you have the courage, show the entire video so that people can understand how you denied me my basic rights,” Dipke added.
Dipke also accused Delhi Police of causing distress to his family by asking him to call his parents at 3.30am. Dipke alleged that police had released an edited version of the video and challenged them to make the entire footage public so people could understand his account of the incident, according to news agency PTI.
He said his family had already been grieving the death of his grandmother. Did they have no humanity?” he said. CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJINAGAR: Cockroach Janata Party ( CJP ) founder Abhijeet Dipke has accused Delhi Police of denying him basic rights during his detention and demanded the release of the full video showing him repeatedly asking to be allowed to speak to his cousin and lawyer. He claimed that police did not allow him to contact his lawyer after his arrest or detention, describing it as a violation of his legal rights. He also alleged that neither he nor his parents and lawyers were informed about where he was being held or which police station he had been taken to. Dipke further alleged that police did not inform his family or lawyers about his whereabouts throughout the day. Alleging that the police action had caused mental distress to both him and his family, Dipke questioned why officers had repeatedly asked him to speak to his parents without informing them about his whereabouts. “Delhi Police was mentally torturing not just me but my family as well. Did the Delhi Police tell my family where I was being held? They kept telling me to speak to my parents, but did they tell my parents which jail or police station I was in? If they did not, why not? Why did they not tell them?
Meanwhile, CJP leaders Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and Ratna Singh are set to visit Parliament Street Police Station on Monday to seek permission for another peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar.
