Delhi Police Arrests Abhijit Deepke Ahead of ‘Lahra Do Tiranga’ Rally

DELHI: Delhi Police have arrested Abhijit Deepke, the founder of the Kachra Janta Party (KJP), just before the ‘Lahra Do Tiranga’ rally scheduled for October 16, 2026. Reports indicate that Deepke was taken into custody while en route to Connaught Place for the event.

According to Indian media sources, the police detained Deepke amid concerns over potential disruptions during the rally. The KJP, known for its vocal stance on various social issues, has been organizing this rally to promote national unity and pride.

This arrest raises questions about freedom of expression and the right to protest in India, particularly as the KJP has been critical of government policies. Observers suggest that such actions could have broader implications for civil liberties and political dissent in the country.

As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the KJP will respond and whether further protests will emerge. Authorities are expected to monitor the rally closely, and additional security measures may be implemented to prevent unrest.
