Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Monday (October 12, 2026) accused the Delhi Police of mentally torturing him and his family after informing him of his grandmother’s death during his preventive detention last week. He alleged that the police did not allow him to speak to his cousin about his grandmother’s death and instead asked him to call his grieving parents. He also called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “coward dictator”.

“Today, Modi denotified Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site. Tomorrow, he will denotify democracy itself. The dictator’s problem was never the protest site. It was the very idea of people protesting,” he posted on X. He asked the Delhi Police to release the complete, unedited footage of their interaction with him when they informed him of his grandmother’s death.

“They wanted to stress me out and give tension to my parents, who were already grieving my grandmother’s death. This was mental torture that my family and I faced due to the Delhi Police. If they told me about the death of my grandmother, why did they come to me with arrest papers at 3:30 am and ask me to sign them? They asked me to talk to my parents, but I said they had health issues and asked them to call my cousin, who was with my grandmother. But they did not even allow me to retrieve his number from the phone,” he told reporters at his native village in Hingoli.

Reacting to the denotification of Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site, he warned that the entire country would become Jantar Mantar now. “They have removed Jantar Mantar as a designated protest site. Yes, it’s no longer a protest site, as it was turned into a war zone by the coward dictator. Ab poora desh Jantar Mantar banega!” he posted on X.

Expressing solidarity with the protestors who hit the streets in Delhi on Monday (October 12), he said, “Delhi is once again flooded with people standing up to save democracy. If Modi thinks taking away Jantar Mantar will put an end to protests, he is mistaken. Jantar Mantar is not just a location but a spirit of resistance that nobody can ever take away.”
