CJP Demands Arrests in Bankura Death Case Amid School Campaign and Police Probe
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has demanded the arrest of all accused within 10 days in the death of Janab Mafik, father of CJP volunteer Shaik Abdul Hafiz, who was allegedly assaulted after documenting poor school conditions in Bankura, West Bengal. The CJP alleges involvement of local BJP workers and calls for a court-monitored probe into police conduct. The West Bengal Police deny claims of a brutal assault, citing minor injuries. The CJP's campaign to improve government schools continues amid reported threats and event cancellations linked to BJP pressure.
