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.
