Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke condemned the alleged police lathi-charge on student protesters in Jharkhand and expressed solidarity with student leader Devendra Nath Mahto, who is undergoing treatment in hospital following the incident.
According to a statement issued by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), Mr. Dipke spoke to Mr. Mahto over a video call while the student leader was hospitalised. The outfit claimed Mahto had been on a nine-day hunger strike before the police action and his condition deteriorated following the alleged lathi-charge.
The CJP said Mahto was placed on oxygen support after developing severe chest pain and sustaining multiple injuries during the police action. It alleged that the police crackdown targeted students participating in a peaceful protest.
