West Bengal Man Dies After Assault Linked to CJP Volunteer’s School Campaign
In West Bengal's Bankura district, the father of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) volunteer Shaik Abdul Hafeez died after an alleged assault linked to Hafeez's participation in the CJP's 'School Thik Karo' campaign. The CJP accused local BJP workers of the attack, which they say was retaliation for highlighting poor school conditions. West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari denied BJP involvement, stating those arrested are criminals facing legal action. Police have arrested eight suspects, with investigations ongoing amid calls for justice from the CJP and other parties.
