Creator who went viral at CJP protest gets Insta account back, shares emotional video
Abhinav Bisht's primary Instagram account was restored following its sudden suspension after he went viral during his appearance at the CJP protest in Jantar Mantar.
Content creator Abhinav Bisht, whose Instagram account was abruptly suspended after he went viral for his videos from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests last week, has informed his followers that his original profile has been restored.
Bisht confirmed that his original account has been restored, ending an anxious wait that began after his follower count skyrocketed from around 5k to over 635k in just two days.
Bisht shot to internet fame for his humorous, TikTok-style videos from the CJP protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Instead of documenting the demonstrations through traditional reporting, he used trending reel formats, quick edits and candid interactions with protesters, giving the movement a distinctly Gen Z flavour.
The videos quickly took off, with several garnering millions of views and pushing his follower count up at an unprecedented pace.
Just as his account crossed 635k followers, however, it was suspended by Meta. Bisht said he had no idea why the action had been taken and received no prior warning.
He immediately created a new Instagram account, where he appealed to his audience to help him recover the original profile while also sharing a screenshot of Instagram's notice informing him that he could request a review.
The suspension triggered an outpouring of support from his followers, many of whom urged Meta to restore the account and followed his newly created profile in the meantime.
The wait, however, did not last long.
After his account was reinstated, Bisht posted a celebratory video that has since garnered nearly 10 million views.
Thanking his followers, he said, "Mera account finally waapas aa chuka hai. Mujhe dekhke tumlogo ko lag hi raha hoga ki mujhe puri raat neend nahi aayi. Main kal raat se soya hi nahi hoon, aaj jake main sounga. Aur jinhone mere liye wish maangi, thank you so much, tumhari wajah se hi mera account waapas aaya. I love you all (My account has finally been restored. You can probably tell from my face that I haven't slept all night. I haven't slept since yesterday, and I'll finally get some rest today. To everyone who prayed and wished for me, thank you so much. It's because of you that my account is back. I love you all)."
In an interview from the CJP protest site, Bisht had earlier revealed that he is a livestreamer, attends classes through an online college and creates content for a living.
The comments section of his restoration video was flooded with congratulatory messages. Followers celebrated the return of one of Instagram's fastest-rising creators, with many saying they were relieved to see the account reinstated.
Others welcomed him back by joking that "Instagram finally came to its senses," while several users called it a victory for his growing community.
Abhinav Bisht first rose to prominence during the CJP protests at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, where students and young aspirants gathered to demand transparency and accountability over the NEET examination paper leak. The demonstrations snowballed into one of the country's biggest youth-led movements and were followed by the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan.
