CJP Spokesperson Alleges Police Intimidation; Puducherry Police Deny Claims
Saurav Das, spokesperson for the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), alleged that Puducherry Police visited his family home and questioned members, describing it as harassment and intimidation linked to the BJP government and Union authorities. The police denied these claims, stating the visit was a routine security check ahead of Independence Day. Das asserted the action aimed to silence him but said it would strengthen his resolve to advocate for a system where police uphold the law rather than intimidate citizens.
