# CJP volunteer’s father dies in Bengal attack, three held 2026-08-16T14:23:06+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets (3 source reports) Sk Muhammad Mafik, the father of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) volunteer Shaik Abdul Hafeez, died on Saturday at Burdwan Medical College and Hospital after an alleged assault. Hafeez had inspected a government school in Karisunda, Bankura district, as part of the CJP's 'School Thik Karo' campaign. The CJP alleges that local BJP workers attacked him and his father at their home on Thursday evening, demanding Hafeez apologise on video. Hafeez suffered a neck injury, his father sustained fatal head trauma. West Bengal home minister Suvendu Adhikari said police have arrested three of the five persons named in the FIR and are searching for the remaining two. Adhikari told a press conference that the complaint did not identify the accused as BJP workers but as unknown individuals. State urban development minister Agnimitra Paul said nobody involved would be spared, adding that working for the BJP does not give anyone the right to assault. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke demanded immediate arrests and said the party will not back off. He announced a CJP team will visit West Bengal. The CJP also alleged that no medico-legal case was filed initially and called for an impartial investigation. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - hindustantimes.com (2) - ndtv.com This story was synthesised by AI from the 3 sources linked above.
