Abhijeet Dipke
Political pressure group Cockroack Janta Party's leader and Founder Abhijeet Dipke has been diagnosed with typhoid, he said in the early hours of Saturday in a post on X."I have been diagnosed with typhoid. My treatment is on, I am being administered IV [fluids] day and night," Dipke said, holding up his hand to show the catheter set up.

"But I really want to thank the cockroaches which have been protesting peacefully across the nation and have made this movement so successful. A big, big thankyou to all and congratulation to you all for such a big,big success. And I am very sure if we continue protesting peacefully, Dharmendra Pradhan will have to resign," he said, speaking of the education minister.Dipke and several protesters have been camping at the Jantar Mantar protest site since over a month now.

There have been accusations of police brutality in New Delhi after police used tear gas and batons against anti-government protesters from the "Cockroach" movement.

The mood among protesters is rather tense, DW correspondent Adil Bhat reports. People gather in large numbers, chant slogans and demand the resignation of India's education minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.

The current protest movement is not tied to any ideology, he adds: "it will continue even if there is no leadership."
