On Friday afternoon, Delhi Police personnel showed up at the residence where Dipke was staying in Jhandewalan. While the reason is not known, it marks the latest confrontation between the CJP and Delhi Police amid the outfit's protest against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) over alleged SIR irregularities.Visuals showed a dozen Delhi Police officers, including a substantial number of women cops, arriving at the residence in West Delhi. Dipke is seen sitting at his residence with a Tricolour draped around his shoulders, being seen as a form of silent protest. A police officer is seen sitting beside him.There has been no official statement from Delhi Police on whether Dipke has been detained or put under house arrest.The development comes a day after Dipke called on people to assemble at Central Park in Delhi's Connaught Place - one of the biggest shopping hubs - at 5 pm carrying the national flag. The appeal followed the arrest of CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka earlier this week for trespassing into Jantar Mantar, which has been denotified as a protest site.Das and Ranka sneaked through the tight security cordon and unfurled the Tricolour near Jantar Mantar. They were sent to five days of judicial custody on Wednesday. Dipke, who arrived in Delhi from Mumbai on Thursday, told the media in a late-night press conference that vehicles without number plates were following him and Intelligence Bureau (IB) personnel were monitoring his residence.The CJP founder emphasised that he was prepared to go to jail for waving the national flag, challenging the cops to treat the act as a crime.- Ends
