Delhi Police informed the Delhi High Court that all possible measures will be taken regarding Cockroach Janata Party leader Abhijeet Dipke following his call for a protest at Central Park in Connaught Place. Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma provided the assurance before a bench headed by Justice Nitin Sambre during a hearing on a petition moved by Palika Bazaar street vendors who opposed the demonstration out of concern over potential business disruptions.
The police stated during the proceedings that the proposed protest would not be permitted. This development follows a separate recent action involving the same group, where party leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were remanded to five days of judicial custody in Tihar Jail for allegedly violating peace bonds and trespassing at Jantar Mantar.
Meanwhile, in a related legal and political development concerning foreign nationals and domestic demonstrations, actor and United States citizen Imran Khan was issued an expulsion notice directing him to leave India under the Immigration Act. The notice followed his participation in Mumbai protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, after Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kirit Somaiya filed a complaint alleging foreign interference, illegal participation in local political agitation, and overseas funding.
Imran Khan's legal team, led by lawyer Zulfikar Memon, confirmed plans to challenge the Foreigners Regional Registration Office directive and accompanying police summons before the Bombay High Court via an urgent petition. The situation has sparked a broader political confrontation, with Congress MLA Nana Patole criticizing the central government for targeting dissenters and drawing parallels to overseas deportations, while the actor previously defended his presence at the protest site by arguing that freedom of movement is a fundamental right.
