Old Unrelated Video Shared as Recent Footage From the CJP Protest

We found out that the video dates back to February 2026.

A video has been making the rounds on social media, claiming to show members of the Cockroach Janta Party kicking out 'Godi media', a term used to describe media outlets that support the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

• The video goes viral amid the protest held by the CJP in Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, on 6 June.

• One such post sharing the video captions, "Cockroaches KICKOUT Modi's Slave-Media. (sic)"

(Archives of more claims can be seen here, here, and here.)

Is it true?: No, the video shows footage from an unrelated protest in February 2026.

How did we find out?: We ran a reverse image search on the video using Google Lens.

• We found an X account, shaligmishra, that shared the same video on 12 February 2026, months before the CJP protest.

• The caption of the post states that the reporter in the video, Shambhu Kumar Singh, from National Dastak, is seen using highly abusive and derogatory language against the Brahmin community.

• We went to the official account of National Dastak and found a longer version of the video posted on 12 February 2026.

• The video's caption said, "Brahmins came out in support of UGC. UGC opponents were chased away." (translated from Hindi).

• The video was shared four months before CJP was formed.

Conclusion: The video shows an unrelated protest and has no relation to the recent CJP protest.
