A Delhi court ordered the release of Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke on Saturday, a day after police placed him in preventive custody ahead of a planned march in central Delhi.

Dipke was produced before a Special Executive Magistrate and released after signing a peace bond, according to Deutsche Welle, The Indian Express and Scroll. The complete terms were not immediately public, but Scroll said he was required to maintain peace for one year. Student leader Neha Bora, who was detained separately while heading toward the demonstration, was released earlier Saturday.

The CJP had called Friday’s “Lehra Do Tiranga” march at Connaught Place in response to the detention of party leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das. They were remanded to five days in custody after allegedly entering Jantar Mantar without permission and unfurling the Indian flag. Activist Ajinkya Shinde, detained in the same episode, was released on a personal bond.

Police had warned Dipke not to hold the Connaught Place demonstration, citing prohibitory orders, heavy traffic and concerns that a gathering could obstruct emergency access. The march formed part of wider protests by the CJP, opposition parties and student groups demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in revisions to electoral rolls. Protesters accuse the Election Commission of manipulating the rolls to benefit Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Attribute the one-year peace condition specifically to Scroll rather than to reports generally. - "The complete terms were not immediately public, but reports said he was required to maintain peace for one year.": Only Scroll reports that one condition required Dipke to maintain peace for one year; Deutsche Welle says the terms were not disclosed, and The Indian Express does not specify the new bond's duration.
