Assam Police Detain CJP Leader Ashutosh Ranka and Volunteers Ahead of Meeting
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and several volunteers were detained by Assam Police in Guwahati ahead of the party's first regional volunteers' meeting. The police reportedly barricaded access roads and intercepted attendees, preventing the event from proceeding. CJP leaders allege the detentions aimed to suppress their campaign highlighting issues such as the condition of government schools, electoral roll revisions, and land rights near Kaziranga. Authorities have not provided official reasons for the detentions, and lawyers were reportedly denied access to the detainees.
