Attack on way to school visit: SC/ST case against Ashutosh Ranka, CJP files cross FIR
On August 21, an attack occurred on a Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) delegation en route to visit a school in Jaipur. Following the incident, both the CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and approximately 50-60 of his supporters have filed cross FIRs with the police. Meanwhile, 11 individuals were apprehended by Jodhpur Police after allegedly entering the site where Ranka was speaking at Gandhi Shanti Pratishthan on Sunday.
The attackers, who chanted "Jai Shri Ram" and "Cockroach Go Back," reportedly confronted the CJP delegation, abusing them with casteist language before resorting to physical violence. In the attack, Ranka's co-convener was allegedly assaulted by a group of individuals, sustaining serious injuries. The FIR against the CJP workers has been lodged under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Scheduled Caste/Substantial Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
The other FIR was filed by CJP worker Rekha Sharma, who stated that they were inspecting a school in Rampura Kanwarpura, run in a buffalo shed, and were attacked upon arrival.
