Cockroach Janta Party founder claims Instagram hacked, X account blocked

Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has alleged a crackdown on the party’s social media presence, claiming that several of its accounts have either been hacked or taken down.

In a post on Friday, Dipke wrote: “Crackdown on Cockroach Janta Party.”

He then listed a series of alleged actions against the party’s accounts:

  • Instagram page hacked
  • Personal Instagram account hacked
  • Twitter account withheld
  • Backup account also taken down

“Please note that we currently do not have access to any of our platforms. Any post made after this should not be considered an official statement from the Cockroach Janta Party,” he added.

The party’s X account was withheld in India on Thursday. Shortly afterwards, however, a new handle titled “Cockroach is Back” surfaced online with the tagline: “Cockroaches Don’t Die.”
