NAGPUR: Abhijeet Dipke, founder and president of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), has reportedly declined special security arrangements offered by Nagpur Police during his visit to the city. According to a report by TV9 Marathi, Dipke has refused additional security, including a police escort vehicle, and will travel with only one gunman.
Dipke arrived in Nagpur on the night of October 13. He is scheduled to visit Deekshabhoomi on October 14 to pay tribute to Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. He is subsequently expected to leave for Delhi.
Declines Additional Police Protection
Dipke is usually provided special security arrangements by Nagpur Police during his visits, including an escort vehicle. However, this time, he has reportedly chosen to forgo the additional protection and retain only one armed security personnel.
The specific reason behind his decision to decline the enhanced security arrangements has not been officially clarified.
Security Decision Amid Recent Delhi Police Controversy
The development comes amid recent controversy surrounding Dipke’s interaction with Delhi Police. He had raised allegations regarding restrictions on access to his mobile phone and communication with his lawyer during police custody.
Delhi Police, meanwhile, presented its version of events, stating that Dipke had been informed about his grandmother’s death and offered assistance to return home.
Dipke’s decision to decline special police protection during his Nagpur visit has drawn attention ahead of his scheduled visit to Deekshabhoomi. However, no official explanation has emerged regarding the reasons behind his security decision.
