Dipke confronts cops with notice

He read aloud from it, questioning the validity of the claims that he was instigating the general public on social media.

No permission for Tiranga march
According to ANI sources, the notice states that Section 163 is in effect in Connaught Place and there is no permission from NDMC for the Tiranga Yatra.
If Dipke decides to go to CP for the march, it would be a violation of Section 163 and attract legal action, Delhi Police sources said.
Protest preparations
'Willing to go to jail...'
Dipke had earlier claimed that Delhi Police and Intelligence Bureau officials had cordoned off the house he was staying at.
"Whenever I go out, vehicles without number plates follow me... So, Delhi Police may pick me up tonight or tomorrow morning..." he said.
Despite this, Dipke remains determined to hold the "Lehra Do Tiranga" protest at Central Park in Connaught Place.
He said he is willing to go to jail for waving the national flag.
