Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), has been granted conditional bail in India and is expected to be released after completing the formalities of signing a peace bond, India Today reported.

According to the report, Dipke will not be sent to judicial custody. He has been asked to sign a peace bond as a condition of his release.

Dipke came into the spotlight over protests against then Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Meanwhile, demonstrations have continued in India demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

In a separate development, YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has announced plans to hold a protest in London to draw international attention to what he described as “vote chor” and the “murderer of democracy”.

In a post on X, Rathee said he had arrived in London and urged people to join the demonstration outside the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Parliament Square.
