Fact Check: Digitally Altered Image Falsely Depicts Abhijeet Dipke Gained Weight During CJP Protest

A viral image circulated on social media claiming that Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), had gained 12 kg during a protest in Delhi while activist Sonam Wangchuk was on a hunger strike. Fact-checking by Telugu Post determined the image was digitally altered and fake. Reverse image searches and video footage from June 6, 2026, showed Dipke's stomach appeared normal at the time, contradicting the claim that the photo was taken during the hunger strike which began on June 28, 2026.
