A Delhi court on Saturday ordered the police to release Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke a day after he was placed under preventive arrest, reported Live Law.
The conditions imposed on Dipke will be clear once the bail order passed by the special executive magistrate is made public. However, one of the conditions will require him to maintain peace for one year.
He was released from Mandir Marg police station after being granted bail, reported ANI.
Dipke and student leader Neha Bora had been detained on Friday in connection with separate demonstrations in central Delhi. Bora was released on Saturday at 5 am.
Earlier in the day, the Cockroach Janta Party said that Dipke’s whereabouts were “still unknown” and that his lawyers had not met him.

The demonstration to wave the national flag in central Delhi was announced as a response to the arrest of the campaign’s leaders Ashutosh Ranka, Saurav Das and Ajinkya Shinde on Wednesday.
Ranka and Das were sent to judicial custody for five days by the special executive magistrate court, while Shinde was released on a personal bond.
