Overview
- Police in Dibrugarh searched AJP president Lurinjyoti Gogoi’s home Friday, citing “technical inputs” tied to a Khowang polling-day clash between AJP and BJP workers.
- AJP leaders at the house said officers forced entry, showed no warrant, intimidated occupants, and left after being questioned about legal authority.
- Party members also alleged police tried to take Form 17C, the booth-wise record that lists turnout and vote totals used to verify results after counting.
- Police said the operation followed legal procedure and is part of a wider probe that includes allegations about a BJP “IT cell” in Khowang at a building that appeared to function as a party office.
- No arrests were reported from Thursday’s clash in Kutuha, and AJP has warned of protests against the Dibrugarh police as the investigation continues.
