The founder-president of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), Abhijeet Dipke, momentarily passed out during a heated sit-in protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
Dipke briefly fainted during the demonstration's heightened stress. Immediately, several demonstrators came to his aid and led him out of the main protest area, according to PTI.
The incident took place in the midst of Dipke's indefinite hunger strike and the party's "Sansad Chalo" (March to Parliament) campaign.

Wide-ranging educational changes, severe government action in response to the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak, and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan are all demanded by the CJP-led movement.
The central government reportedly got in touch with the demonstrators for formal talks on Monday. Later in the day, Dipke formally halted his hunger strike on the request of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk.
