The family of Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has reportedly moved to an undisclosed location ahead of the group's first major protest in Delhi.
New Delhi: The family of Abhijeet Dipke, Cockroach Janta Party founder has reportedly relocated from their residence in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar amid growing attention surrounding the newly formed Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and its planned protest in Delhi.
According to reports, local police are maintaining security outside the family's residence after family members quietly moved to an undisclosed location over concerns for their safety. The development comes as Dipke prepares to lead a demonstration at Jantar Mantar on June 6, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged failures in the education system.

As preparations for the protest continue, the Cockroach Janta Party has appointed three spokespersons, including an investigative journalist, a filmmaker and an IIT graduate, to represent the organisation's views publicly.
The June 6 protest is expected to receive support from prominent public figures, including Sonam Wangchuk and Prakash Raj, who are reportedly set to participate in the demonstration.
