· India · India Today, Times of India
The Delhi Police deployed women officers to detain Cockroach Janta Party leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka inside an Air India aircraft at Indira Gandhi International Airport. The leaders arrived in Delhi on Saturday ahead of the outfit's planned protest at Jantar Mantar against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police officers boarded the flight immediately after touchdown and took the trio into custody amidst active video recording by Dipke. Officials likely chose women officers to prevent physical escalation in the narrow aircraft aisles and to avoid a repeat of optics from a July 20 protest where student demonstrators accused male police of using force against young women. Despite heated verbal exchanges inside the cabin, the detention was executed without major chaos.
