Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke was allegedly heckled by a group of people who appeared to be social media influencers or content creators during his visit to Madhya Pradesh’s Balaghat district on Saturday.
Dipke had travelled to the district to meet the families of tribal children who allegedly died due to infectious diseases and gather details about healthcare facilities in the area. He visited Adori, Korka and Bondari villages during the trip.
A video of the incident, which has gone viral, showed a woman influencer approaching Dipke with a microphone as he was leaving in a car. She asked him if he had come to “do politics on corpses” and questioned why he had arrived so late. Dipke was heard apologising for arriving late.
The woman
was also heard saying, “A good road has been constructed here. Can’t you see it?” The confrontation escalated, following which CJP workers accompanying Dipke moved him to another car and took him away.
As Dipke left the spot, the woman was heard saying, “He ran away, he ran away.”
Local journalists said they were surprised to see a group of social media influencers from outside in the remote village. They also questioned whether the group had been sent by someone to disrupt the CJP founder’s visit.

The incident comes days after the Jabalpur bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court sought a response from the state government over the deaths of more than 30 children in the region.
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Vivek Rusia and Justice Pradeep Mittal issued notices to the state Health Department, Women and Child Development Department, Balaghat collector and others while hearing a public interest litigation.
The PIL alleged that children were not receiving adequate treatment and claimed that around 400 children were being treated at a hospital with a capacity of 50 beds.
Dipke’s visit, the confrontation captured on video and the court proceedings have drawn attention to the reported child deaths and the state of healthcare facilities in the region.
