The Cockroach Janta Party published a pre-recorded video message featuring Abhijeet Dipke on the social media platform X following the police detention of Dipke, Ashutosh Ranka, and Saurav Das. In the footage, Dipke anticipates that the three of them would be taken into custody and designates Ajinkya Shinde to take over leadership of the movement in their absence.
Addressing viewers directly in the clip, Dipke states that if the public is watching the recording, it signifies that he alongside Ashu and Saurabh have been arrested. He subsequently instructs supporters that Ajinkya will steer the campaign forward and asks followers to lend their backing to Shinde.
Dipke emphasizes that Shinde will assume responsibility for carrying forward the Cockroach Janta Party following the detention of the initial leaders. The organization shared the broadcast as authorities intercepted the group.
