CJP’s ‘School Thik Karo’ Campaign Faces FIR in Latur: What Happened During Abhijeet Dipke’s School Visit?

Police in Latur district have registered an FIR against Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) convenor Abhijeet Dipke and others following a complaint linked to their visit to a government school in Jawali, near Ausa. The case relates to allegations of entering the school without permission, disrupting academic and official work, filming the proceedings and allegedly threatening teachers.

The development comes as Dipke’s ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign continues to attract attention for its inspections of government schools and claims about poor infrastructure and facilities.

What Is the ‘School Thik Karo’ Campaign?

The CJP campaign focuses on visiting government schools and highlighting problems such as inadequate infrastructure, sanitation, drinking water, classroom facilities and other basic requirements.

Dipke has recently visited several schools in Maharashtra and publicly raised questions about the condition of government education facilities. The campaign has already generated attention after inspections led to discussions around repairs and basic amenities at some schools.

The Latur visit, however, has now become the subject of a police case.

What Happened at the Latur School?

According to the complaint, the incident took place at a Zilla Parishad Urdu school in Jawali village near Ausa.

The complainant, identified as teacher Sayyed Shamshadbano Khairatali, alleged that Dipke and his associates entered the school premises without prior permission.

They reportedly sat among students, asked questions and recorded the proceedings. The complaint claims that their presence disrupted teaching and other official activities.

The video from the visit was also allegedly uploaded to social media.

Allegations About Students Inside the School

The controversy grew further after allegations were reportedly made about students present in the classrooms.

According to the complaint, Dipke claimed that students from another school had been brought into the classrooms during his visit.

The allegation has become part of the dispute between the campaign team and the school administration. Importantly, these are allegations contained in the complaint and should not be treated as established facts while the investigation is ongoing.

Dipke had separately claimed during his Latur school inspections that he found serious issues, including alleged irregularities involving students and the presence of liquor bottles on school premises. Local reports said he also raised concerns about drinking water, toilets and damaged infrastructure.

Teachers Allegedly Threatened With Suspension

Another serious allegation in the complaint concerns the treatment of teachers.

The complainant alleged that teachers were threatened with suspension during the visit.

Police have included these allegations in the case registered at Ausa police station. The investigation will determine what happened during the visit and whether the allegations are supported by available evidence.

Which BNS Sections Were Invoked?

Police registered the case under four sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS):

• Section 132 – relating to assault or criminal force against a public servant to deter official duty

• Section 329(3) – relating to house-trespass

• Section 351(2) – relating to criminal intimidation

• Section 356(2) – relating to criminal defamation

The case remains under investigation, and police are examining the available videos and other evidence.

Why the Case Is Getting Attention

The FIR comes at a time when Dipke’s campaign has been receiving considerable attention for publicly highlighting the condition of government schools.

Earlier, the campaign had focused on infrastructure problems at schools, including broken facilities and inadequate basic amenities. In Dipke’s native village, the campaign was followed by repair-related activity and the installation of a computer at the local government school.

The latest development has therefore created a debate over how activists or campaign groups should inspect and document problems inside government institutions.

While raising concerns about public facilities can draw attention to genuine issues, school authorities and campaigners can also face questions about permissions, disruption of classes and the way allegations are presented publicly.

Campaign vs Controversy

The ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign began with a straightforward message: government schools should provide students with proper facilities and a safe learning environment.

But the Latur episode has shifted some of the focus from school infrastructure to the conduct of the inspection itself.

For now, the FIR represents allegations made in a complaint, not a finding of guilt against Dipke or the other accused. The police investigation will establish the facts surrounding the incident.

What Happens Next?

Authorities are expected to examine the video footage, statements from those present and other available evidence as part of the investigation.

Meanwhile, the controversy puts the spotlight on a larger question: Can public-school accountability campaigns expose problems effectively while also respecting institutional procedures and the functioning of schools?

The answer may become clearer as the Latur investigation progresses.
