Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has responded to an FIR filed against him by Maharashtra Police by sharing a video featuring a stanza from Kishore Kumar’s popular song ‘Yeh Jeevan Hai’.
The FIR was registered against Dipke at Ausa police station on Saturday for allegedly entering a government school without permission, disrupting official work and threatening teachers.
On Sunday, Dipke shared a video clip of the song on social media, featuring the lines: “Yeh Jeevan Hai, Is Jeevan Ka, Yahi Hai—Yahi Hai—Yahi Hai Rungroop.”
A rough translation of the lines is: “This is life; this is what life is—this is, this is, this is its nature.”
Police registered the case following a complaint by Sayyed Shamshadbano Khairatali, 53, a teacher at a Zilla Parishad Urdu school. The complainant alleged that Dipke and his associates entered the school without permission, sat among the students and questioned them, thereby obstructing educational and government work.
He further alleged that Dipke filmed the proceedings and shared the footage on social media.
The complainant also alleged that CJP leaders defamed the school by claiming that students from another school had been brought in and made to sit in the classrooms during Dipke’s visit.
Dipke has been visiting schools across central Maharashtra’s Latur district and highlighting their problems as part of the CJP’s ongoing ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign.
The FIR was registered under Sections 132 (assault or use of criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging their official duty), 329(3) (house-trespass), 351(2) (criminal intimidation) and 356(2) (criminal defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
