Maharashtra Police in Latur district have registered an FIR against Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) convener Abhijit Dipke and others for allegedly entering a government school without permission, disrupting government work and threatening teachers. The case was filed at Ausa police station based on a complaint by Syed Shamshadabano Khairat Ali, a 53-year-old teacher at the Zilla Parishad Urdu School in Jawali, over 500 km from Mumbai.

The complaint alleges that Dipke and his associates entered the school without authorisation, sat among students and asked them several questions, disrupting studies. It also claims Dipke recorded a video and shared it on social media, defaming the school by falsely stating that students from another school were brought in to fill the classrooms during his visit. He is also accused of threatening to get teachers suspended.
The FIR has been registered under sections 132, 329(3), 351(2) and 356(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Police officials said the investigation is ongoing. Dipke has been visiting schools in Latur under CJP's 'School Theek Karo' campaign to highlight their problems.
The case highlights the tension between activists using transparency drives and state machinery that can be invoked against disruption. Dipke's 'School Theek Karo' campaign has previously exposed crumbling infrastructure and teacher absenteeism in Maharashtra's rural schools. The FIR under sections dealing with obstructing public work and criminal intimidation carries a potential prison term. A similar 2023 case against him in Latur was later quashed by the Bombay High Court. The key number to watch now is whether the court grants anticipatory bail or stays the FIR, as it did before.
