Abhijit Dipke, a rising political figure, has come under scrutiny after an RTI activist filed a formal request to probe his father's earnings and the source of a Rs 1 crore CJP (Central Justice Party) defence fund. The request, lodged under the Right to Information Act, seeks to ensure accountability and transparency in public figures' finances.
The activist highlighted that the father, a retired employee, reportedly earned a modest salary of ₹60,000, yet the sizable defence fund raises doubts about the actual source of the money that financed the son’s education in the United States.
