India’s viral Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) is now at the center of a massive internet controversy after founder Abhijeet Dipke claimed that the party’s Instagram account was “hacked” and its backup page taken down. The dramatic development came just as social media exploded with allegations that a large share of CJP’s followers were from Pakistan and Bangladesh. The satirical Gen-Z political movement shocked the internet after crossing more than 20 million followers in just days, even overtaking the BJP on Instagram. But BJP leaders, including Tajinder Bagga, soon accused the party of having a suspicious foreign follower base, calling it “Pakistan Janta Party.” Alleged follower data shared online claimed Pakistan, Bangladesh and the United States accounted for a large percentage of the page’s audience.

The Twisha Sharma death case has taken a massive new turn after the Bar Council of India suspended advocate Samarth Singh from legal practice amid serious allegations connected to the investigation. Months after former model and actor Twisha Sharma was found dead at her matrimonial home in Bhopal, the case continues to trigger nationwide debate, legal scrutiny, and public outrage. In a major development, the BCI issued an interim disciplinary order against Samarth Singh, calling the allegations “grave and damaging” to the credibility of the legal profession. The move came shortly after Samarth surrendered before the district court, following weeks of evasion after an FIR was registered against him and former judge Giribala Singh. WATCH
