CJP’s Ashutosh Ranka, his team detained in Guwahati
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convenor, Ashutosh Ranka, and his team were arrested in Guwahati, Assam on Sunday, September 27, 2026. Ranka alleged that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was afraid of revealing the true conditions in the state's schools, which would expose the living standards of its people. "Himanta Biswa Sarma is scared because of how the rights of our people are being taken away in Kaziranga, and how land, forests and water are being taken away and given to corporates," Ranka stated.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke confirmed the arrest, stating that the team was headed to a small gathering of volunteers in Assam when they were detained by the Assam Police. Lawyers were present in front of the detention facility, but the police barred them from entering.
