Pondicherry Police Harass CJP Leader's Family

Saurav Das, co-convenor of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), has alleged that the Pondicherry Police visited his family's residence and subjected them to questioning, which he described as harassment.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, with Das claiming that police personnel arrived at his family's home two hours before he posted about the incident on social media.

Das questioned the reason behind the police action, asking who ordered it and what its purpose was.

He also asked if the action was part of the legal procedure, tagging the official Pondicherry Police handle in his post.

Das alleged that the action was part of an attempt by the BJP government in Pondicherry to intimidate his family, and that it was being carried out at the behest of the Union government.

He expressed his belief that such conduct was not representative of the character of the Pondicherry government.

Das also alleged that the police action could be aimed at pressuring him into remaining silent, but stated that the attempt would not deter him from speaking out.

He said that the alleged incident had instead strengthened his determination to work towards a better system, where the police uphold the law rather than intimidate citizens.

The CJP leader has been vocal about various issues, including the state of government schools, and has called for a social audit of these institutions.

Das's allegations have raised questions about the use of police power and the role of the government in intimidating opposition leaders.

The incident has also sparked concerns about the safety and well-being of the families of political leaders and activists.

In recent times, there have been several instances of police action being used to silence opposition voices, and Das's allegations have added to the growing concern about the erosion of democratic rights.

The BJP government in Pondicherry has not yet responded to Das's allegations, and it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold.

The incident has highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in police actions, and for the protection of democratic rights and freedoms.
