Police in Latur district, Maharashtra, have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke and others for allegedly entering a government school without permission, disrupting official work, and threatening teachers. The FIR was filed at Ausa police station following a complaint by Sayyed Shamshadbano Khairatali, a teacher at the Zilla Parishad Urdu school in Jawali near Ausa.According to Scroll, the complaint alleges that Abhijeet Dipke entered the school premises without authorisation, sat among students, and questioned them, which reportedly disrupted both educational activities and government work. The teacher further claimed that Dipke threatened to have the teachers suspended and defamed the institution by stating that students from another school were brought in for his visit.As reported by The Hindu, the incident took place at the ZP Urdu school in Jawali, over 500 kilometres from Mumbai. The FIR was registered under sections 132 (assault or use of criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging their official duty), 329(3) (house trespass), 351(2) (criminal intimidation), and 356(2) (criminal defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Police officials confirmed that further investigation is ongoing.As highlighted by Hindustan Times, Dipke and other CJP members have been accused of recording videos during their visit and sharing them on social media. The complaint specifically mentions that Dipke claimed students from another institution were made to sit in the classroom during his visit, which the complainant alleges was defamatory to the school’s reputation.Coverage revealed that the FIR was filed after the teacher’s complaint, and that the CJP’s activities are part of a broader campaign to highlight issues in government schools. The campaign, titled ‘School Thik Karo’, involves visits to schools across various states, with the aim of drawing attention to infrastructure and educational challenges.“Dipke had entered the school in the Jawali area near Ausa, sat among students and asked them several questions. This disrupted education and government work,” the complainant stated, as cited in multiple reports.In addition to the Latur incident, reporting indicated that CJP teams have faced opposition in other states as well. For example, a CJP team was allegedly attacked during a school visit in Jaipur, Rajasthan, and a counter-FIR was filed against the team members there. The CJP has alleged that these attacks were politically motivated, while local authorities continue to investigate the incidents.The CJP’s ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign, launched on 15 August 2026, began in Dipke’s native village in Hingoli and has since expanded to several states. Analysis showed that the campaign’s volunteers have been sharing videos on social media to highlight the conditions of government schools, which has led to both support and opposition from various quarters.“The Cockroach Janta Party has been sharing videos on social media recorded by its volunteers showing government schools functioning in poor condition in several states,” as described in the coverage.Officials have stated that the investigation into the allegations against Abhijeet Dipke and his associates is ongoing as details emerged. No arrests have been reported as of 23 August 2026, and further updates are expected as the inquiry progresses.Note: This article is produced using AI-assisted tools and is based on publicly available information.
