Bestätigt Thousands of people gathered in Mumbai on Friday to protest, under a heavy police presence, as part of the Cockroach Janta Party's nationwide protests.
KI Factly reports that on 2 October 2026 (a Friday) the Cockroach Janta Party held a protest at Mumbai's Shivaji Park, and that thousands attended despite police denying permission. Reuters reports that hundreds of police were assembling for the Mumbai protest. The results do not clearly confirm the 'nationwide' framing, so that detail could not be checked.

Bestätigt The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demanded the resignation of chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
KI Multiple results explicitly state that the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, with CNBC, France 24, AP, DW and The Hindu all reporting the demand directly from the party's founder Abhijeet Dipke and protesters. Several of these reports may trace back to shared wire coverage, but the core claim is consistently supported.

Bestätigt An Indian Express report alleged irregularities and internal concerns about the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of India's electoral register, overseen by Gyanesh Kumar.
KI Several Indian Express articles report alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls under Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, and an Indian Express exclusive reports that commissioners objected on record 14 times over roll deletions. The results do not give the exact details of the internal concerns beyond these objections, and all supporting results come from the same newspaper.

Bestätigt The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) has resulted in tens of millions of people being deleted from India's electoral register.
KI Multiple results state that more than 130 million names have been removed from India's electoral rolls through the SIR, which is consistent with the claim that tens of millions were deleted; the figure is actually larger than 'tens of millions'. The West Bengal figures (about 9 million per BBC, 6.18 million per Wikipedia) are a regional subset and do not contradict the national claim.

Bestätigt India's education minister resigned in July after pressure from the Cockroach protests.
KI Several results report that Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned in July 2026 (Time and DW date it to July 25) amid pressure from the Cockroach protests over NEET paper leaks. The results are news reports rather than primary documents, and the Reuters-based timeline and the Time and DW reports do not all share one original source.

Bestätigt CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke announced last week that the Cockroaches would resume agitation until Gyanesh Kumar stepped down if he did not resign.
KI Several results report that CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke announced on a Friday night a protest at Jantar Mantar on October 10, and that cockroaches would march to Delhi if CEC Gyanesh Kumar did not resign, which matches the core of the claim. The results do not explicitly say the protest would continue 'until Kumar stepped down' or confirm the exact 'last week' timing. The NDTV and Times of India quotes appear to derive from the same X post.

Bestätigt Mumbai authorities denied the CJP permission to hold their protest at Shivaji Park.
KI Several results state that the Mumbai Police denied the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) permission to protest at Shivaji Park, with Scroll adding that the denial cited a 2013 Bombay High Court order limiting the park to sports. The Indian Express and Scroll reports appear to rely on related reporting rather than one shared primary source, so the denial is supported across more than one outlet.

Bestätigt The election commission denied wrongdoing in the SIR process.
