Dipke-led protests, legal probes, and credential disputes

Overview

Student protests over alleged NEET paper leaks gathered at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar in late July 2026, with Abhijit (Abhijeet) Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), emerging as the movement’s focal point. The demonstrations, which included a ‘Chalo Sansad’ march on 20 July, forced Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to resign on 25 July. Dipke has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of threatening his family to force his defection, prompting his parents to hide for sixteen days. He has also demanded the resignations of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging Shah ordered police to use pellet guns and batons against protesters. Dipke claims the BJP is now intimidating venue providers to block CJP meetings, citing a cancelled volunteer meeting in Naraina after a banquet hall revoked its booking. In early August, Dipke was treated in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar for symptoms including low blood pressure, vomiting, and loose motions. Concurrently, legal challenges intensified. Advocate Rinki Chatterjee Singh filed a complaint seeking a zero FIR against Dipke and CJP spokesperson Saurav Das, alleging violations of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act after a 12-year-old girl was injured during police action. Influencer Faizan Ansari also lodged a complaint accusing Dipke of assault and improper financing of influencers, including a claim involving Uorfi Javed, which Javed denied. In September, Dipke challenged Prime Minister Modi to release his academic certificates following scrutiny of Dipke’s own credentials. This followed claims by podcaster Prakhar Gupta that no record of Dipke’s graduation from Boston University could be found; Dipke responded by sharing video footage of himself at a university graduation afterparty. By early September, the CJP faced internal fragmentation as activist Manish Brahmbhatt launched the Cockroach Janta Party-Democratic (CJP-D), accusing Dipke’s leadership of being biased toward the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
