Assam police recently apprehended two individuals, Bijoy Ghosh and Gopal Boro, in connection with a concerning case involving an arms training program conducted by the Bajrang Dal. The camp, which saw the participation of around 350 youths between the ages of 18 and 30, took place in Mornoi village, Darrang District. According to reports, the training covered various aspects, including martial arts, weapons handling, survival skills, politics, Vedic rituals, and ideological orientation.
The arrests came after the police registered a case following allegations of the unauthorized arms training organized by the Rashtriya Bajrang Dal, led by Praveen Togadia. Earlier, on August 1, two other individuals, Hemanta Payeng and Ratan Das, were arrested but later released on bail.
Interestingly, Hemanta Payeng, who is the president of the school’s managing committee, also filed a complaint stating that Abhijit Ghosh had sought permission to host a yoga camp at the school from July 27. However, Payeng claimed to have only learned about the arms training camp through media reports.
In light of the situation, the police have issued a lookout notice for Abhijit Ghosh and Subrata Ghosh, who are currently at large.
It has been alleged that the motive behind the camp was to prepare the participants to counter the perceived security threat posed by alleged illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. However, these claims have raised concerns about the implications of such training and its potential impact on the region.
As the investigation unfolds, the authorities are closely scrutinizing the events that transpired during the seven-day camp. The issue has garnered attention and sparked debates, with some questioning the ethics and legality of such activities.
The incident has shed light on the activities of Rashtriya Bajrang Dal in Assam, with claims of recruiting around 50,000 youths in the state. This development has prompted discussions on the necessity for responsible and regulated activities by such organizations.
In conclusion, the arrests in the Bajrang Dal arms training case have raised pertinent questions about security concerns, illegal immigration, and the implications of ideological-oriented camps. The situation remains under investigation as the police continue to search for the absconding individuals, Abhijit Ghosh and Subrata Ghosh.
