CJP team alleges assault during Jaipur school inspection
Times of India··21 Aug
On 21 August 2026, Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke said co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and other volunteers were beaten while trying to inspect a government school in Rampura Kanwarpura, Bagru, Jaipur. Dipke alleged Rajasthan Police allowed the attack. Ranka told PTI that vehicle windows were smashed, phones broken, stones thrown, and that one volunteer's hand was fractured.

What It Means For You
- If you have a child in a Rajasthan government school, the state has already said outsiders need the principal's nod before walking in. CJP says it will still inspect dilapidated campuses.
- Anyone in Rampura Kanwarpura can treat today's account as CJP's complaint. Police had not, in the first reports, confirmed an FIR or named accused.
- If you follow School Thik Karo, Ranka said the primary school has been running in a buffalo shed for a year and that the visit was to get it repaired.
What's Happening
- Dipke posted that Ashu and other volunteers were injured and asked what was happening in Rajasthan.
- Ranka released video from the spot and said police remained spectators while stone pelting was on.
- The clash followed CJP's 16 August call that its teams would reach neglected government schools across districts.
Why School Gates Became The Contest This Week
- School Thik Karo is CJP's campaign of filming missing toilets, roofs and classrooms in government schools, then demanding repairs.
- After that announcement, the BJP government in Rajasthan told schools not to let unauthorised visitors onto campus without permission.
- Madan Dilawar is the school education minister Ranka named. An allegation that an assault was done at his behest is a political claim, not a police finding in these reports.
