A Surat-based RTI activist, Amit Tiwari, has filed complaints with the Election Commission of India, tax authorities, and the Maharashtra government seeking probes into the finances of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke's father, a retired government employee, questioning how he funded his son's education in the US. Tiwari also raised concerns about the CJP's legal defence fund of Rs 1 crore pledged by Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal, questioning the party's registration status and tax implications. Authorities have yet to confirm these allegations.
