CJP Founder Abhijeet Dipke Claims Assam Police Detained Outfit's Leader Ashutosh Ranka, Supporters
CJP said police stopped its planned volunteer meet-up as lawyers were barred from seeing the detainees and the group was taken to an unknown location.
- On Sunday, Assam Police detained Cockroach Janta Party co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and nearly 30 volunteers ahead of a scheduled meeting in Dispur, Guwahati.
- Ranka claimed the detention occurred because the campaign intended to "reveal to the residents of Assam the reality of the state's schools" and opposed a luxury hotel project near Kaziranga National Park.
- About 45 farming families depend on the 19-acre plot at Ingle Pathar earmarked for the project, with 9.9 acres allocated despite families paying revenue for over a decade.
- CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke reported that police barricaded the meeting site and transported Ranka to an undisclosed location, while lawyers were denied access to detainees.
- Ranka alleged Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is "scared" that exposing school conditions would reveal how "rights of our people" are being stripped for corporate interests.
