What Happened
On Thursday, October 15, 2026, a joint press conference in New Delhi, featuring Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke and All India Students' Association (AISA) president Neha Bora, was disrupted by individuals shouting "Band karo, dafa ho jaao." The event, held at the Press Club, also included Supreme Court advocate Prashant Bhushan, actor Prakash Raj, Kapil Sibal, Students' Federation of India leader Aishe Ghosh, and All India Students' Federation national president Viraaj Devang. During the conference, Dipke alleged government attempts to influence elections through voter deletions and questioned the protection of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, while Bora spoke in support of journalists reportedly detained during protests.
This disruption occurred a day before a planned 'Lehra do Tiranga' protest march by the CJP and is part of ongoing protests in Delhi and other cities concerning the Election Commission of India's (ECI) Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Earlier on the same day, the Delhi High Court declined to prevent the CJP's protest, and the Supreme Court had issued notices regarding petitions challenging the ECI's SIR exercise and mass detentions of protesters.
