New Delhi/IBNS: The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has claimed that its convener Abhijeet Dipke and co-conveners Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were arrested from inside their flight on Saturday while travelling to Delhi to participate in protests against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar.

Reacting to the alleged detentions, the CJP accused the central government of acting against its own citizens to shield Gyanesh Kumar.

Without naming anyone, the group posted on X: “To save his traitor friend, the dictator has declared war against his own citizens!”

As they were escorted by the police, Dipke dared the cops to arrest them.

"Please arrest us, we are not afraid," Dipke said amid chants of "Bharat Mata Ki" and "Inquilab Zindabad" slogans.

Meanwhile, YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was detained by Gurugram Police on Saturday ahead of his participation in the CJP protests against Gyanesh Kumar, media reports said.

Earlier this week, Rathee had joined the CJP protests at Freedom Park in Bengaluru.

Delhi on high alert ahead of protests

The national capital has been placed under heightened security ahead of the CJP demonstrations, with central forces deployed and barricades erected across the city.

Internet services were also reportedly suspended amid the security measures.

The protests are being held over alleged irregularities in voter rolls.
