Influencer files assault complaint against CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke in Delhi
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Social media influencer Faizan Ansari has submitted a written complaint to the Delhi Police against Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke, demanding his immediate arrest over allegations of physical assault and concerns about his personal security. The complaint, filed on 4 August in New Delhi, also raises broader allegations about Dipke's alleged links to anti-national activities and claims of financially backing protests.
Key Allegations in the Complaint
Ansari alleged that individuals associated with Dipke physically attacked him on two separate occasions — once in Pune and once in Aurangabad, both in Maharashtra. He stated that police complaints had already been lodged in connection with both incidents and that evidence pertaining to them was in his possession.
Beyond the assault allegations, Ansari further claimed that Dipke had extended support to individuals associated with anti-national activities and had allegedly provided financial assistance to people to participate in protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
What Ansari Said
Speaking to reporters, Ansari said: 'I have submitted a written complaint to the DCP, requesting the immediate arrest of Abhijeet Dipke. I want to tell the public about what I have gone through. I was attacked by him, once in Pune and once in Aurangabad. I have filed police complaints in both cases and have evidence related to them.'
He also alleged that the protests were financially motivated, stating: 'This is a paid campaign. He is paying celebrities to attend the protest... I received all this information from Mumbai.'
Ansari further claimed that Dipke's alleged activities posed a threat to social harmony and public order, and urged authorities to conduct an impartial probe and take strict legal action if any wrongdoing was established.
Anti-National Activity Claims
Ansari also alleged that CJP members had expressed support for individuals who had made statements against India's territorial integrity. He quoted the phrase 'Bharat tere tukde honge' in his allegations, asserting that such associations were dangerous. He said: 'I will fight this till my last breath. Even after I was attacked, I am still standing here.'
These claims remain unverified and have not been independently corroborated. The allegations of anti-national links are Ansari's own assertions and have not been established by any investigation.
Police Response and Next Steps
As of the time of reporting, the Delhi Police had not issued any official statement regarding the complaint. Ansari has demanded that the police register a formal FIR, conduct a detailed and unbiased investigation, and take the strictest legal action against Dipke if the allegations are found to be true.
The matter is expected to draw further scrutiny given the political nature of the allegations and the involvement of a registered political party. Whether Delhi Police formally registers an FIR will be the key development to watch.
