A viral video showed an influencer accusing Dipke of 'doing politics on corpses,' questioning his motives for visiting late. Dipke apologized for the delay but was quickly escorted away by CJP workers as tensions escalated. Local journalists questioned whether the influencers were sent to disrupt the visit, amid ongoing legal scrutiny over child deaths in the region. The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued notices to the state government over the deaths of over 30 children.
