NEW DELHI: Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activist Ashutosh Ranka on Saturday alleged that Rajasthan Police is resorting to “scare tactics”, claiming 15 policemen from Pratap Nagar Police Station were stationed outside his volunteer’s house.
In a post on X, Ranka said, “15 policemen from Pratap Nagar Police Station are standing outside our volunteer’s house. They are enquiring about my family and me.”
He further said, “Dear Rajasthan Police, you are more than welcome to come to my house and ask me everything directly. Even arrest me if you feel the need. But if you think these scare tactics will work, you haven’t followed the events of Jantar Mantar.”
The allegation comes a day after tensions escalated sharply in Rajasthan’s education sector on Friday, following a violent confrontation in Rampura Kanwarpura, Jaipur district, where a visiting delegation of the CJP was allegedly ambushed.
Following the incident, Jaipur Police said FIRs have been registered on behalf of both parties.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Lalit Sharma stated that complaints were received from both the villagers and the workers associated with the CJP, based on which the FIRs were registered.
However, police are currently investigating the allegations made in both complaints, and any further action will be taken only after the investigation.
According to the CJP, team members attempting to inspect a local government school, which reportedly operates out of a makeshift shed, were met with mob violence.
