Abhijit

Reports claiming that Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, the Indian defence analyst, had been arrested are false, according to Dainik Bhaskar. Ashutosh Ranka stated that Iyer-Mitra is not in custody and is moving around freely in Mumbai. The clarification comes after news of an alleged arrest spread widely, prompting concern among followers of the commentator, who is known for his outspoken commentary on defence and strategic affairs.

An account associated with the Cockroach Janata Party shared a picture of a man with the hashtag #abhijitdipke, asking followers in Hindi what they would like to say about him and inviting replies in the comments. The post drew over 3,000 likes, with supporters and critics of the figure using the comment section to respond.
