CJP seeks Kolkata Police permission for rally on NEET paper leak, Sonam hunger strike

In a bid to expand its movement over the NEET examination paper leak and other issues beyond New Delhi, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has approached the Kolkata Police seeking permission to hold a rally in the city in solidarity with activist Sonam Wangchuk’s ongoing hunger strike.

Sources in the city police said the first email was sent to the Joint Commissioner (Headquarters) and Joint Commissioner (Crime) of Kolkata on July 19 seeking permission to hold the rally from College Street in North Kolkata to Rani Rashmoni Road in



Central Kolkata on July 22 from 4 p.m. onwards. The email was reportedly sent by Dedipyo Gangopadhyay.

Police officials subsequently denied permission for the proposed July 22 rally

Sources said a second email was later received at the same police email addresses, seeking permission for a rally along the same route on July 24. The sender was again identified as Gangopadhyay. Following the second communication, Kolkata Police initiated inquiries into the sender, who has claimed to be an active member of the CJP.
