Claim Vs Counterclaim Over How Police Informed CJP Founder About His Grandmother’s Death

The Delhi Police has released a video showing a female officer breaking the bad news of his grandmother's death to the Cockroach Janta Party founder, Abhijeet Dipke. "Sir, I want to share some information... it is unfortunate news... we are very sorry for that. Your grandmother has died," said the officer. The CJP leader, who had planned to lead a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation and was under detention, didn't respond. Dejected by the death of his grandmother, Dipke placed both his hands on his lowered head. After a few tense seconds, he says, "I see". As Dipke took his time to process the information, a male officer interjected. "Sir, if you have made up your mind to attend your grandmother's funeral, we would arrange for whatever transportation you want," the officer said. A few seconds later, the officer asked him, "Will you stay here?" Reacting to the video, the CJP leader has alleged that he wasn't allowed to speak with his cousin. "I had requested to let me speak to my cousin who lives with my grandmother. Asked for my phone just for a couple of minutes so I could at least take out the number of my cousin. Why didn't Delhi Police let me use my phone? I had also asked for a call with a lawyer, which was again denied," he wrote on X.
