Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has alleged that individuals from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) were behind the attack on him during a protest in Jaipur.
The incident occurred on Monday when Dipke was allegedly assaulted while leading a demonstration against examination paper leaks and unemployment.
According to party leaders and videos from the scene, Dipke was being carried on the shoulders of supporters when two men approached him, pulled his scarf and slapped him multiple times.
His supporters intervened and allegedly beat the attackers before handing them over to police.
Dipke claimed that such incidents occur whenever someone speaks against the government or its ideology.
He described the attack as an attempt to shift attention away from the issues being raised by students.
The CJP is demanding the resignation of education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET (UG) paper leak issue.
