Meet the Mumbai cop Gen Z crowned 'pookie' during the CJP protest

During the nationwide Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests, a trend emerged where protesters and content creators interacted playfully with police officers using a viral audio clip from Lana Del Rey's unreleased track, 'Everybody knows that I am a good girl, officer.' The trend gained traction on social media, with participants lip-syncing to the audio and referring to officers affectionately as 'pookie.' One notable moment involved Maharashtra Police constable Vinod Kalukhe, who became an internet sensation after blushing and smiling shyly while viewing a video of himself participating in the trend. This lighthearted interaction highlighted the unique blend of humor and activism characteristic of Gen Z's involvement in the protests. The trend coincided with student-led demonstrations demanding accountability, which ultimately led to the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Cockroaches spreading their filth: Kangana Ranaut attacks CJP protesters

Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) member and actress Kangana Ranaut strongly criticized the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)-led protests over the alleged leakage of the NEET exam papers. She described the protest videos as 'puke-inducing' and accused the demonstrators of spreading 'filth and ugliness,' comparing them to 'cockroaches.' Ranaut also condemned the Opposition for disrupting parliamentary proceedings during the introduction of the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Amendment Bill, 2026, claiming they were intentionally obstructing education reforms. She suggested that the Opposition aimed to prevent legislative progress by refusing to allow Parliament to function unless they gained more power.

'Completely unacceptable': Kangana Ranaut on 'filthy abuse' hurled at PM Modi's late mother by CJP protesters

BJP MP Kangana Ranaut condemned the language used by protesters affiliated with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) during student demonstrations at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, criticizing the 'filthy abuse' directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother. She expressed disapproval of the protesters' behavior, questioning their maturity and ability to support themselves legally if they faced charges. This followed Delhi Police's directive to social media platforms to remove content deemed offensive toward Modi.
