Attack on way to school visit: SC/ST case against Ashutosh Ranka, CJP files cross FIR
On August 21, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) faced an attack on their delegation as they traveled to a school in Jaipur. Both CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and approximately 50-60 of their supporters were subsequently booked under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. Meanwhile, 11 individuals were detained by the Jodhpur Police after allegedly entering the venue where Ranka was addressing a seminar on Sunday afternoon.
The attackers, chanting "Jai Shri Ram" and "Cockroach Go Back," allegedly attacked one person outside the building before being stopped by the police. In Rampura Kanwarpura village, a CJP co-convener lodged a complaint stating that on Friday, the party's leaders arrived on the pretext of inspecting a school. They began abusing the villagers and women, assaulting them with casteist slurs.
CJP worker Rekha Sharma also lodged a complaint, revealing that her team received information that the government school in Rampura Kanwarpura was located in a buffalo shed. Upon arrival, they were met with abuse from anti-social elements, who assaulted them brutally with bricks, sticks, and stone-filled tubes.
