CJP Volunteer Father Dies, Son Blames Bengal BJP Workers; 3 Held, Says Adhikari

  • Janab Mafik, father of CJP volunteer Shaik Abdul Hafeez, died Saturday after an alleged assault in Bankura district's Karisunda area. The Cockroach Janta Party alleges armed individuals identified as local BJP workers attacked the family's residence.
  • The violence followed Hafeez's participation in the nationwide "School Thik Karo" Abhiyan on Thursday, August 13, when he inspected a local government school to assess infrastructure. A teacher allegedly informed political workers of his visit, prompting the attack.
  • Hafeez sustained severe neck injuries while his father suffered fatal blunt-force trauma. The CJP alleges local police failed to initiate a medico-legal case or register an FIR following the incident.
  • CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke said a party team will visit West Bengal to "ensure that Abdul and his family get justice." The organization demanded immediate arrest of those responsible for Mafik's death.
  • Amid safety concerns, Hafeez has fled to Kolkata following the assault. The CJP is calling for an impartial investigation, though police stated they were yet to receive a formal complaint regarding the incident.
