Latur: Police in the district have registered a case against Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) convenor Abhijeet Dipke and others for allegedly entering a government school without permission, disrupting official work and threatening teachers.

The first information report (FIR) was registered at Ausa police station on a complaint filed by Sayyed Shamshadbano Khairatali (53), a teacher at a Zilla Parishad Urdu school.

Dipke has been visiting schools in central Maharashtra’s Latur district and highlighting their problems as part of the CJP’s ongoing ‘School Thik Karo’ (improve government schools) campaign.

According to the complaint, the alleged incident took place at the ZP Urdu school at Jawali near Ausa, over 500 km from Mumbai.
