Puducherry Police Deny Harassment Claims by CJP's Saurav Das
Saurav Das, associated with the organisation CJP, alleged that Puducherry police harassed his family by visiting their home and questioning them. Das claimed this was an act of intimidation, potentially linked to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's recent visit to Puducherry, and that the action was not in keeping with the Union Territory's government character. Puducherry Police denied the allegations, stating the visit was a routine security check and a 'routine exercise' related to Independence Day eve drills. Some reports also mentioned Das's claim that the BJP-backed government in Puducherry was behind the alleged intimidation.
