The X account of Cockroach Janata Party, the satirical digital outfit that came up last week and took social media by storm, was with- held in India on Thursday. Soon after, came another handle — ‘Cockroach is Back’ with the tagline ‘Cockroaches Don’t Die’.
“This (action) was expected since there were attempts to hack the account yesterday. But this is a self-goal by the government,” founder Abhijeet Dipke said. “I have now started a new account named ‘Cockroach Is Back’ on X,” Dipke added. He said the team would pursue the matter legally. Around 6 pm on Thursday, a few hours after it started, the ‘Cockroach Is Back’ X handle had over 39,000 followers.
