The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) on Sunday demanded the immediate arrest of those responsible for the alleged assault that led to the death of Janab Mafik, the father of CJP volunteer Shaik Abdul Hafeez, in West Bengal.
His father has died at the hands of goons who allegedly belong to the BJP. What was his crime? That he planned on conducting a social audit of his local government school. Abdul, the entire CJP family is with you. We will not rest until those goons are brought to justice! @WBPolice, do your job immediately. The outfit demanded immediate action by the Indas police station to apprehend those accused of the attack and ensure the safety of Hafeez and his family.
The incident took place in the Karisunda area of Bankura district after Hafeez participated in the nationwide “School Thik Karo” Abhiyan at the local government school in his village on August 13 to assess the condition of its infrastructure, the party said. Reacting to the incident, CJP chief spokesperson Saurav Das said, “We are very concerned for Abdul.
We will keep fighting for better schools. CJP stands firmly with Abdul and his family. We demand the immediate arrest of those responsible for his father’s death. Our CJP team will visit West Bengal and ensure that Abdul and his family get justice.”
“When Hafeez refused to comply, the individuals allegedly launched a violent assault on his family,” it said. CJP founder and national convener Abhijeet Dipke said, “We will not be silenced and intimidated. Mafik died on Saturday from severe head injuries sustained during the alleged assault at the family’s residence, according to a statement issued by the CJP, according to PTI.
It called for an impartial investigation into the alleged violence, the circumstances surrounding Mafik’s death and the alleged failure to initiate due legal proceedings.
