3,000 Detainees Released as Abhijeet Dipke Remains Held Along with Two Others
· India · NDTV
All 3,000 detainees were released from custody, except Abhijeet Dipke and Dhruv Rathee, along with two others, who continue to remain in detention. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were detained from a plane upon landing in Delhi. Hundreds of activists had gathered to move towards Jantar Mantar. The Delhi Police confirmed the release of the bulk of detainees while the three named individuals and two additional persons are being held.
Why it matters
The release of 3,000 detainees marks a significant development, but the continued detention of Abhijeet Dipke, Dhruv Rathee, and two others highlights a selective legal action within the broader crackdown, affecting civic activists and watchdogs directly.
