CJP Website — What Happened to cockroachjantaparty.org?

Outside India it resolves normally. cockroachjantaparty.buzz — this site — was not targeted and remains fully live. (Al Jazeera and Business Today)

CJP Instagram — What Happened to @cockroachjantaparty?

@cockroachjantaparty grew to over 20 million followers in under seven days, surpassing BJP's official Instagram page — one of the fastest-growing political accounts India had seen. On May 23, 2026, the account was hacked and access was lost entirely. Founder Abhijeet Dipke stated: "We have lost the access to the account." (Tribune India and The Siasat Daily)

The backup account @cockroachneverdies_ was also suspended on the same day. As of May 2026 there is no active official CJP Instagram. Any account claiming to be CJP on Instagram should be verified via this site before trusting it.

What Still Works — How to Find CJP in May 2026

Why Was CJP Blocked?

The government used Section 69A of the IT Act, citing an Intelligence Bureau report alleging the movement posed a threat to "national security and sovereignty." Founder Abhijeet Dipke called the block an "own goal" for the government, saying the action would drive more attention to the movement rather than suppress it. Rights groups condemned the action: the Internet Freedom Foundation called it a "blatant misuse of State power," and Amnesty International India said the crackdown shows "how quickly political humour becomes a target once it reaches a mass audience."

Who Founded CJP — Where Is Dipke Now?

Abhijeet Dipke, 30, founded CJP on May 16, 2026 — the day after Chief Justice of India Surya Kant's "cockroach" remark about student protesters went viral from the Supreme Court. Dipke is currently in the United States, where he is a public relations student. He has publicly said he fears arrest on return to India: "I feel that as soon as I land at Delhi airport, a convoy of Delhi Police will take me to Tihar Jail." No FIR has been filed against him as of May 24, 2026. (Tribune India)
