Delhi Tightens Airport and City Security Ahead of CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke's Arrival

Security arrangements were intensified in Delhi on October 10, 2026, ahead of the expected arrival of Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke from Mumbai. Police increased vigilance at the airport and on key routes into the capital amid preparations for the party's planned demonstration at Jantar Mantar.

Authorities strengthened security measures across several parts of the city, with additional police personnel deployed to manage crowds and monitor movement. Reports also described the use of surveillance equipment, including drones and body-worn cameras, as part of the wider security arrangements for the anticipated gathering.

Dipke was expected to join the CJP's planned Jantar Mantar 2.0 protest. The demonstration was linked to the party's demand for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and its objections to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. These demands reflect the party's political position and allegations concerning the electoral process.

Delhi Police had reportedly denied permission for the planned protest, citing procedural and security concerns. Dipke, however, indicated that he intended to travel to Delhi and proceed with the demonstration despite the restrictions. Reports also said he was prepared to face arrest, although any subsequent police action would need to be confirmed independently.

The heightened security reflects authorities' preparations for a potentially large political gathering and possible law-and-order challenges. While security was reportedly increased ahead of Dipke's arrival, this does not by itself establish that a specific threat had been made against him. The situation remained centred on the planned protest, police restrictions and the CJP's demands.
