CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke claims Instagram account was hacked, says backup page was also removed

Abhijeet Dipke, founder of India’s Gen-Z-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), on Friday claimed that his Instagram account had been “hacked,” saying he was unable to regain access. He also alleged that the party’s backup Instagram account had been taken down by Meta.

The CJP, launched a day after Chief Justice of India Surya Kant’s remarks on May 15, quickly gained traction online, drawing support from politicians, activists, artists and a wide base of social media users.
