RTI Activist Seeks Probe into Finances of Abhijeet Dipke's Father and CJP Defence Fund
A Surat-based RTI activist, Amit Tiwari, has sought an investigation into how Abhijeet Dipke's father, a retired Maharashtra government employee, financed his son's education abroad. Tiwari also requested scrutiny from the Election Commission and tax authorities regarding a Rs 1 crore legal defence fund pledged by Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal for Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protesters. While two sources report official complaints and requests, a third notes these claims remain unverified and based on social media circulation, with no official confirmation yet.
