Some users further amplified the controversy by describing him as an “ISI-paid asset” and linking the complaint to sedition-related allegations.

Publicly accessible information mainly refers to complaints, accusations, and social media claims rather than any verified legal conclusion.
One viral post circulating online claimed:
“Shocking Revelation: Boston-based Abhijeet Dipke, founder of viral ‘Cockroach Janta Party’, was flagged in 2019 Pune Police records as an ISI-paid asset pushing Pakistan’s Kashmir narrative.”
As of now, those claims remain unverified in the public domain.

Available reports indicate that Legal Rights Observatory submitted a complaint to Pune Police in 2019 seeking legal scrutiny over Dipke’s alleged online activity during the Article 370 developments.
The complaint reportedly accused him of circulating misleading or anti-India narratives linked to Kashmir. Some social media posts claim the complaint remains pending even today.
However, publicly available information mainly confirms the existence of allegations and complaints rather than any established prosecution outcome or conviction.
No Fresh Official Action Confirmed
Despite the controversy regaining momentum online, there has been no recent public statement from Indian law enforcement agencies or investigative authorities confirming fresh legal action against Dipke over the resurfaced allegations.
Most discussions surrounding the issue continue to rely on archived complaints, old posts, and politically charged social media commentary.
