India Detains Youth Party Founder Ahead of Planned Protest

Authorities in India have detained Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the youth-led 'Cockroach' party (CJP), from his home on Friday. This action precedes a planned anti-government demonstration in Delhi, which Dipke had called for, urging supporters to gather and hold the Indian flag.

The detention marks an escalation in the government's response to ongoing protests and broader political controversies. It follows a week of mass detentions of activists and the jailing of two other CJP leaders, indicating a significant crackdown on dissent.
