Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka announces that his party will travel to West Bengal’s Bankura district to seek justice for Abdul’s family after Abdul’s father died following an alleged assault. Ranka and other CJP members say Abdul’s “mistake” was raising demands to improve a local government school and that his father intervened and was also attacked.
Ranka also alleges that the BJP is planning violence around the CJP’s visit, saying he received multiple calls warning him of potential attacks. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke echoes the allegations, adds that Abdul had previously studied at the same government school, and calls for the immediate arrest of those responsible. All three accounts cite the same underlying claim: an attack in connection with the party’s “School Thik Karo” campaign, which focuses on improving government schools.
The differing emphasis across outlets centers on Ranka’s warnings of potential violence during the trip versus the campaign-linked circumstances leading to the father’s death and the demand for arrests and justice for the family.
