'Will not be silenced': CJP demands arrest after Bengal school campaign volunteer's father dies in 'assault'

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has demanded the immediate arrest of those responsible for the alleged assault that resulted in the death of Shaik Abdul Hafeez, a volunteer for the group's "School Thik Karo" campaign. Hafeez, 25, was attacked following a visit to a government school in West Bengal. According to the CJP, Hafeez was attacked after being informed by a school teacher about his civic inspection of the school's infrastructure.

The assailants reportedly demanded that Hafeez apologize for highlighting the school's condition under external influence, a demand Hafeez refused. His father, Janab Mafik, died on August 15 from severe head injuries sustained during the assault. CJP founder and national convener Abhijeet Dipke stated that the party will not be silenced or intimidated and will continue fighting for better schools.

The party also demands an impartial investigation into the incident and the safety of Hafeez and his family.
