Reports from multiple news outlets state that Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), was allegedly slapped and manhandled on June 15, 2026, while arriving at a protest gathering at Shaheed Smarak in Jaipur. He was being carried on supporters’ shoulders before addressing the crowd when individuals in the gathering allegedly pulled at his scarf, slapped him multiple times, and attempted to drag him down. The incident was captured on video and circulated widely online.

According to police and eyewitness accounts, the assault led to a scuffle between the alleged attackers and CJP supporters. Police intervened, and several individuals were detained for questioning. Authorities said they were investigating the identities and motives of those involved.

The protest was organized around issues including alleged examination-paper leaks, unemployment, and demands for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Despite the attack, Dipke later addressed the gathering and said the movement would remain peaceful and would not be deterred by violence.
