BJP functionary moves Allahabad HC for probe against Cockroach Janta Party, extradition of founder Abhijeet Dipke

The Cockroach Janta Party emerged last month as a satirical movement among young users across social media platforms. The Union government, however, has made X Corp take down its Twitter account citing security concerns. Now, Shishir has sought directions for the blocking of all social media handles of the CJP and Dipke across different platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal. His plea also seeks the removal of posts, videos, reels and other content originating from or associated with Dipke and CJP that misuse, distort, or misrepresent observations of the Supreme Court.
