On 21 August 2026, a delegation from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), led by co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka, was involved in an incident during a visit to a government school in Rampura Kanwarpura village, Jaipur. Following the altercation, cross FIRs were filed at Shivdaspura police station, with one naming Ranka and "50-60" CJP workers under the SC/ST Act and other sections, and another filed by a CJP worker alleging assault on their team.According to The Indian Express, the FIR against Ashutosh Ranka and CJP workers was based on a complaint by Bhagwan Sahay Dhanka, a resident of the village. Dhanka alleged that the CJP team, under the pretext of inspecting the school, abused and assaulted villagers, including using casteist language and causing injuries. The FIR invoked sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for voluntarily causing hurt, wrongful restraint, unlawful assembly, and intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace, along with three sections of the SC/ST Act.In response, a cross FIR was filed by CJP worker Rekha Sharma, who stated that the CJP team was conducting inspections as part of the 'School Thik Karo' campaign. She alleged that their vehicles were stopped at the village border and, as they proceeded on foot, they were attacked by a group using bricks, sticks, and tubes filled with stones. The complaint listed serious injuries to several CJP volunteers, including a fractured hand and multiple bodily injuries. Coverage revealed that the CJP also claimed their vehicles were damaged during the incident.Further details indicated that videos of the assault were available with the media, and the CJP identified individuals they alleged were responsible for orchestrating the attack. The CJP stated that legal action should be taken against those visible in the footage. The complaint also mentioned that the government school in question had been operating from a buffalo shed for several years, which was the reason for the inspection. Injuries to CJP volunteers were documented, and the CJP called for identification and prosecution of the alleged attackers as details emerged.CJP’s Ashutosh Ranka Alleges Attacked by 'BJP Goons' During Jaipur School VisitFIR Registered Against CJP's Abhijeet Dipke Over Maharashtra School Visit“The CJP team led by Ashutosh Ranka reached the village but our vehicles were stopped at the village border, away from the school, and we started going by foot. We saw that at some distance before the school, some anti-social elements were abusing… We repeatedly requested them to listen to us, that we have only come to inspect the school on the invitation of villagers themselves but our team was attacked from all directions with bricks, sticks, and tubes filled with stones.”In a related development, 11 persons were detained by Jodhpur Police after allegedly entering the Gandhi Shanti Pratishthan, where Ranka was addressing a seminar. The group reportedly chanted slogans and assaulted one person outside the venue before police intervened. Analysis showed that no formal complaint had been filed in this Jodhpur incident at the time of reporting, and police had not established any formal association of the detained individuals with political outfits.Statements from both sides continued to be shared on social media, with the CJP alleging that BJP workers were behind the attack, a claim that had not been independently verified. The BJP rejected the allegations. The CJP maintained that their campaign was focused on highlighting inadequate school infrastructure, specifically citing the use of a buffalo shed as a classroom as reporting indicated.“Four-five goons surrounded each of our workers and assaulted them brutally with the intent of fatality.”Both FIRs remain under investigation, with police reviewing available video evidence and statements from all parties involved. The incident has drawn attention to the ongoing 'School Thik Karo' campaign and the broader issue of government school infrastructure in Rajasthan at the end of the coverage.Rajasthan Bans Outsiders, Photography In Govt Schools Amid CJP's School Campaign'Tu Sala N**ch': Dalit Journalist Beaten In Udaipur, 2 FIRs Filed, 1 Against HimNote: This article is produced using AI-assisted tools and is based on publicly available information.
