CJP's Saurav Das Alleges Police Intimidation; Puducherry Police Cite Routine Security Check
Cockroach Janta Party spokesperson Saurav Das 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. Police officials 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 strengthened his resolve to advocate for lawful policing. The incident follows Das's earlier claim of a security breach at his Delhi residence.
