Latur police book Dipke over school visit
The Hindu··23 Aug
On 22 August 2026, Ausa police in Latur registered an FIR against Cockroach Janta Party convenor Abhijeet Dipke and others for allegedly entering a Zilla Parishad Urdu school at Jawali without permission. Teacher Sayyed Shamshadbano Khairatali, 53, said the group sat among students, asked questions and filmed the visit. Dipke was on a School Thik Karo campaign.

What It Means For You
- If you teach or study at the Jawali ZP Urdu school, the 20 August visit is now an Ausa police file, not only a social-media video.
- Anyone running a campus visit should note the complaint treats unauthorised classroom filming and a suspension threat as separate alleged offences.
- If you follow only the campaign name, School Thik Karo is Dipke's stated project on government-school conditions; the FIR is about how that visit was carried out.
What's Happening
- The school is near Ausa, more than 500 km from Mumbai, in central Maharashtra's Latur district.
- Section 132 covers use of force to deter a public servant; 329(3) is house trespass; 351(2) is criminal intimidation; 356(2) is criminal defamation.
- The teacher said official teaching work was obstructed while the group remained inside classrooms.
How A School Audit Visit Became A Police File
- CJP has used school visits and videos to argue that many Zilla Parishad schools lack staff or rooms.
- A teacher, not the education department, is the first informant on this FIR.
- Dipke has also been in the news the same week over the BCI resignation campaign and a Rajasthan school-related clash, which are separate files.
