Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: CJP founder’s home gets police protection

Police protection has been provided at the residence of Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke in MIDC Waluj area of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, a senior official said on Sunday. Deputy Commissioner of Police Pankaj Atulkar said round-the-clock general police protection was given to ensure there is no crowding at the place since the CJP issue is trending on social media.

Atulkar denied that the protection was due to any threats, stating that no police station under his jurisdiction had received any formal complaint in this regard. The CJP emerged online last week and rapidly gained traction through memes and political commentary around unemployment, exam paper leaks and education-related issues.

Dipke on Saturday alleged a sweeping crackdown on the digital movement, claiming all its social media accounts and its website had been taken down or compromised, leaving the group without access to any official platforms.
