The video shows Dipke learning about his grandmother’s death and beginning to grieve with his hands on his head. A police officer offered him water, but Dipke did not drink it. Abhijeet Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das were taken into custody on a flight on Saturday morning. They were released at 10 a.m. on Sunday after spending around 23 hours in custody. Dipke then left for his home in Nagpur. Read the conversation between Dipke and the police in sequence… Abhijeet Dipke was sitting on a chair. A female police officer came in and told Dipke that his grandmother had died. On hearing this, Dipke sat with his hands on his head. Another police officer offered him a bottle of water, but Dipke did not take it. Then Police officer: Sir, what have you decided? If you want to attend his last rites, we will arrange whatever transport is possible for you-bus, train or flight. Dipke: No, I’m fine as I am. Officer: You mean you will not go? Dipke: I’m fine like this. Officer: All right. The other thing is, if you want to speak to any family members, we can arrange the call from our phone. You can dictate the number. Dipke: I don’t remember the number. It won’t be possible to speak to Dad, so tell him to perform the last rites today itself. Officer: All right. If you change your mind, let us know. Dipke: All right.
