Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and several activists were taken into police custody in Guwahati, Assam on September 27, 2026, prior to a regional volunteers' meeting at the Assam Secretariat. Ranka alleged that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was "scared" that the CJP's campaign would expose the poor state of government schools in the state.
During the detention, Ranka told reporters, "Himanta Biswa Sarma is scared that if we show the reality of schools in Assam, the country will come to know about their condition." He also alleged that the Assam government was seizing people's rights in Kaziranga, claiming land, forests and water were being taken away and given to corporations.
While Ranka and his team were being detained, no official explanation from Assam Police about the detentions was immediately available. CJP members had been in the state ahead of the planned September 27 meeting, where they intended to discuss their organisational activities and expand their presence in the Northeast. The detention occurred as CJP intensified its "School Thik Karo" campaign to highlight the state of government schools in Assam.
