BJP-led government conspiring to keep him in jail for a long period, says his party
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed an additional chargesheet against Sibsagar MLA and Raijor Dal president Akhil Gogoi on Tuesday, the final day of trial for framing charges. The regional party he heads has accused the BJP-led Assam government of conspiring to keep him in jail for a longer period. He has been in jail since December 2019 on charges of fomenting the anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act violence that led to the death of at least six people. “The filing of an additional chargesheet against our party president is yet another conspiracy as the NIA has not mentioned the name and address of the witness in this new chargesheet,” Raijor Dal’s working president Bhasco de Saikia told journalists.More Related News
