  • On Sunday evening, Cockroach Janta Party leader Ashutosh Ranka announced that the "illegal detention" of him and over 40 volunteers by the Assam Police had "finally ended."
  • Earlier on Sunday, Assam Police picked up Ranka and the CJP volunteers from the Chowdhury Tilla residence of Assam Jatiya Parishad leader Kunki Chowdhury ahead of a scheduled meeting.
