CJP Abhijeet Dipke Calls for Ashutosh Ranka’s Release, Warns Himanta Biswa Sarma Could Arrest All

Advocate Abhijeet Dipke, speaking on behalf of the CJP, publicly demanded that Ashutosh Ranka be released without delay. Ranka, who is currently in custody, has become the focus of a legal and political debate after his detention earlier this week.
Dipke asserted that the state government, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, possesses the authority to detain individuals and warned, "Himanta can arrest us all," implying that the power to arrest extends to anyone challenging the administration.
The demand was made during a press briefing where Dipke also announced his intention to travel to the capital to pursue the matter further. No official response from the Assam government or the police has been recorded at the time of reporting.
Observers note that the statement underscores growing tensions between legal representatives and the state’s executive, but the exact grounds for Ranka's detention remain undisclosed in public records.
The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected as legal proceedings continue.
