Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke released after detention in Delhi

Police have released Abhijeet Dipke, founder of India's Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), France 24 reported on Saturday. He had been held since Friday, before a rally in central Delhi calling for the resignation of the chief election commissioner.

Deutsche Welle, citing the CJP's head of legal affairs, says Dipke was let go after agreeing to certain conditions. DW did not say what the conditions were. Earlier, DW reported he was due before a Special Executive Magistrate and described his detention as preventive.

France 24 says two other CJP leaders remain in custody. It says they were arrested while demonstrating at a protest site that police had declared off-limits.

Police took Dipke, 31 according to France 24, from his home on Friday, The Guardian reports. He had called for an evening flag march in central Delhi. DW says he was pushing the protest despite a court order banning it. Al Jazeera reports student leader Neha Bora was also detained ahead of the march.

Hundreds of people marched in the capital on Friday evening despite heavy security, France 24 reports. BBC News says the movement planned the protest after mass detentions the previous week and the jailing of two of its leaders.
