Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday accused Delhi Police of denying him access to his phone and a lawyer after officers informed him of his grandmother’s death. His response came after police released a video showing him declining an offer to return home and attend her funeral. Dipke claimed officers asked him to call his parents at 3:30 am and demanded that he sign arrest papers before allowing him to contact his lawyers. Police said they offered travel assistance and phone calls, but he declined. Dipke was released from detention on Sunday and travelled to Maharashtra. (PC: HT)
