NEW DELHI — The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Saturday claimed that its leaders Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were detained from inside the aircraft by Delhi Police as soon as their flight landed in the national capital.
The CJP leaders had arrived here from Mumbai for their proposed protest at Jantar Mantar against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
In a video shared by the CJP, Dipke can be heard telling police officers who entered the aircraft that, "We are here to be arrested, come and arrest us."
Before detention, police personnel told the CJP leaders that they don't have permission to hold their protest at Jantar Mantar.

Dipke said CJP leaders are being detained as if they are criminals.
In a statement, the party condemned the alleged detentions, claiming they were part of a pre-planned move to prevent its leaders from reaching the site of their proposed protest.
The CJP described the action as a violation of freedom of movement and demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the three leaders.
The CJP has called the proposed demonstration at Jantar Mantar against the CEC over allegations of voter-list manipulation during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and changes relating to Form 6, used for voter registration.
