The latest fad in Indian politics is an alleged party named Cockroach Janta Party. This group is quickly gathering followers on social media platforms, and along with that, is giving a new opportunity to scammers to scam people in its name. On Friday, May 22, Ludhiana Police had to issue a public advisory warning people about possible cyber fraud being carried out in the name of Cockroach Janta Party. The police said that many scammers have been circulating phishing links on WhatsApp under the guise of joining the party.
Notably, Ludhiana police had received information about the circulation of suspicious and virus-infected phishing links on the mobile phones of people across Ludhiana.

In its post, Ludhiana Police said that these days there are several links being circulated to join Cockroach Janta Party, this is not a joke but a way to hack your phones and rob you of your money. Don’t click such links. Stay alert.
Commissioner of Police Ludhiana Swapan Sharma added, “If someone accidentally becomes a victim of such cyber fraud, instead of panicking, immediately dial the cyber helpline number 1930. Filing a complaint in a timely manner increases the chances of getting the money stolen from your bank account back by holding it. Ludhiana police will continue to spread awareness regarding these phishing links so that people do not fall prey to the cyber criminals.”
