Abhijeet Dipke told reporters he was heading home to be with family after learning of his grandmother's death, following his release from detention.
His family alleges that Delhi police delayed his release, making him miss the funeral, while the police say Dipke was informed of the death and refused offered travel assistance, and NDTV noted that cops had initially offered to help him return for the last rites.
After the incident, Dipke said he was returning to his village, and his associates declared that the CJP would not back down on the issue.
