Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke fell ill at his residence in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Saturday morning, prompting his family to call doctors for a medical examination.
According to reports, Dipke came down to the parking area of his residence around 11.45 am to meet a group of people who had gathered to see him. While interacting with them, he suddenly felt uneasy and restless. He then moved to the rear of the premises, where he vomited, before returning to his residence without addressing waiting journalists.
His father, Bhagwan Dipke, confirmed the incident and said doctors had been called to examine him. However, no official update on his condition or whether he would require hospitalisation was immediately available.
The health scare comes just days after Dipke participated in protests at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. During the demonstration on July 25, he had disclosed that he had been diagnosed with typhoid and was undergoing treatment. Despite his illness, Dipke continued to take part in the protests, saying he had been unwell for several days.

In recent weeks, Dipke has emerged as one of the most prominent faces of the CJP's nationwide campaigns, leading demonstrations over alleged examination paper leaks and criticising the Centre's E20 fuel policy. He has also been vocal on issues related to police action during protests and has addressed several public meetings across the country.
His recent protests in the national capital attracted significant public attention, with Dipke repeatedly asserting that the movement would continue despite challenges faced by its members.
Doctors are expected to assess his health later in the day, while supporters and party workers have expressed concern over his condition and wished him a speedy recovery.
