Cockroach Janta Party's (CJP) founder,Abhijeet Dipke, claimed on Friday that his Instagram account had been hacked. He also claimed that CJP's backup account had also been taken down. In a series of posts on social media platform X, Dipke shared that he was unable to access his accounts and tagged Instagram's parent company, Meta, to help him recover them.
"My Instagram account has been hacked," he said. "CJP’s backup Instagram account also taken down."
This comes days after Cockroach Janta Party said "attempts" were being made to hack its Instagram account.
"@Meta, I have lost access to my Instagram account. Trying to recover it but unable to," he said in another post.
However, a search of Dipke's Instagram account shows that it is still accessible.

The Cockroach Janta Party, operating primarily through the Instagram handle @cockroachjantaparty, describes itself as a movement “of the youth, by the youth, for the youth.”
The CJP emerged earlier this month as a satirical political movement founded by political communications strategist Abhijeet Dipke, who had previously worked with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Dipke, who hails from Maharashtra, however, said that the idea was inspired after reports claimed the Chief Justice used the terms 'parasites' and 'cockroaches' while criticising the youth.
The remark sparked sharp criticism online, particularly among young social media users.
The account, which came into being a day after the CJI's remarks on May 15, quickly went viral, attracting support from politicians, activists, artists and a large number of young and not-so-young social media users.
